Tour between History and Panorama: Lamezia Terme and Tiriolo

Our tour will start in Lamezia Terme, in the district of Nicastro, where we will discover the Chiesa della Veterana, a structure dating back to the 13th century, built on the ruins of an ancient Basilian monastery. Nicastro was founded during the Byzantine period. Worth a visit is the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, renovated in Baroque style. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy a walk along Corso Numistrano, the beating heart of the city.
In the afternoon, our journey continues to Tiriolo. This small village is located at 690 meters above sea level. Don’t miss the small Museum of Calabrian Folklore; along Corso Garibaldi you can admire elegant palaces. The historic center of Tiriolo, built around the castle at the beginning of the 16th century, offers a spectacular view: on one side the Ionian Sea, on the other the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a view of the magnificent Aeolian Islands. For this reason, Tiriolo is known as the “city of the two seas”.
