ITINERARIES
Taste, explore and dream
ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARY
Borgo Piazza overhangs the archaeological area of the Scolacium Park of Borgia, where you can visit both the Greek site and the Norman Cathedral at the entrance of the Park and its museum. The area is a summer theatre for the most interesting music, culture and drama events, staged right inside the park for three whole months, until September [Armonie d’arte]
From our location two historical-cultural itineraries branch out in two directions: the Archaeological Park of Crotone and Capocolonna Capocolonna (going North) and the Archaeological Park of Locri – Gerace – Reggio Calabria and all the archaeological sites of Caulonia, Monasterace and Stilo (going South).
ART AND TRADITIONS ITINERARY
In our immediate proximity we recommend a visit to the villages which admirably preserve our traditional heritage. First of all, at 15 minutes from Borgo Piazza, San Floro, where silkworms are processed.
In 30 minutes, near Catanzaro, you can reach the beautiful village of Tiriolo, famous for its silk products, cotton and fine wool (traditional “Vancali” by Tiriolo’s women – Video) and where the Museum of Regional Costume is located (Museo del Costume Regionale). But even just going there for “I Due Mari“, it’s worth it: the traditional restaurant, that towers elegantly over the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Sea at the same time, offers a breathtaking view and ensures fresh, clean and crystalline air, thanks to its 900 meters above sea level.
On the Road to Sila Piccola, you will find the village of Taverna, where the Civic Museum preserves the works of one of its illustrious citizen, Mattia Preti.
