Pizzo Calabro: history, sea and tradition

Pizzo Calabro is a charming seaside village in Calabria, characterized by a picturesque historic center with small squares and narrow alleys winding between ancient houses and views of the sea.
One of the must-see stops is the Chiesa di Piedigrotta, a unique and evocative place, carved directly into the tuff rock by the sea, which tells a story of legend and faith. Continuing the tour, you will visit the Aragonese Castle, made famous for being the site of the last imprisonment and execution of Gioacchino Murat, Napoleon's brother-in-law and King of Naples.
To end the day on a sweet note, a stop to taste the famous Tartufo di Pizzo, an artisanal ice cream that has made the city famous throughout Italy, is a must.
