| Area Information |
Stilo One Of The Most Fascinating Places And
Most Richly Steeped In History Of The Ionian Side
Of The Province Of Reggio, Is Situated On The
Slopes Of Mount Consolino, Along The Middle
Stretch Of The River Stilaro Valley.
Its Name In Greek Means Column, And Its Most
Ancient History Is Probably Bound To The Greek
Colony Caulonia That Was Situated On The Coast
Facing The Town, As The Numerous Finds From
Necropoli Testify Too.
The Home Town Of The Famous Philosopher Tommaso
Campanella, It Preserves Infinite Evidence To Its
Illustrious Past The Superb Cattolica, A
Splendid Byzantine Temple Clinging To A Small
Ledge On Mount Consolino, The Norman Castle, The
Medieval Towers, The Royal Palace And Its
Beautiful Churches.
Its Area Is Renowned For The Production Of
Excellent Wine, Olive Oil And Citrus Fruits And
For Sheep, Goat And Cattle Breeding.
The Typical Cuisine Is Rich And Tasty, With Its
Roots In The Most Genuine Calabrian Culinary
Tradition, And Is Typified By Decisive And Spicy
Flavors.
The Site Of The Greek Colony Caulonia Founded By
The Achaeans At The End Of The Eighth Century Bc,
Then Re-colonized By The Crotoniati During The
Succeeding Century, Was Identified By The
Archaeologist Paolo Orsi Between Present Day
Monasterace Marina And Punta Stilo.
The Town Enjoyed Its Greatest Splendor In The
Sixth Century Bc, Was Then Destroyed In 338 Bc By
The Syracuse Tyrant Dionysus The Elder, And
Rebuilt By Dionysus Ii.
Finally It Was Razed By The Romans In 205 Bc.
The Site Of Ancient Locri Located To The
Southwest Of The Modern Town, Spreads Out Close
To The Ionian Sea, On A Long Strip That Rises
Towards The Abbadessa, Casarellace And Mannella
Hills.
The Area Of The Town Is Marked By An Axis, Called
Dromos *road*, Only Survivor Of The Ancient Road
Network, That Separated The Public Area, Situated
On Higher Ground, From The Residential Area
Located Near The Sea.
Gerace Preserves The Atmospheric Beauty Of Its
Original Medieval Architecture Unchanged.
The Historic Center Is Divided Into Different
Nuclei The Borgo, One Of The Most Interesting
Quarters Of The Lower Part Of Town, That Still
Has The Potters* Grottoes Dug Out Of The Soft,
Reddish Tufa Stone, Spacious Shops Almost
Completely Without Masonry Support, In Which Clay
Is Still Modelled According To Ancient Greek
Tradition. The Cittadella, For The Most Part
Built On The Rock, Where Ovens And Other
Structures At One Time Used For The Production Of
Vases Are To Be Found, Along With Churches And
Noblemen*s Houses. Finally, The Borghetto,
Typified By Modest Homes Reached By Gracious And
Very Steep Steps.
Every Corner Of Gerace Reserves A New Sensation,
From The Flagged Alleyways Opened By Perfect
Round Arches, To Small Squares Lined By Ancient
Buildings, To Doorways Surmounted By Squared Red
Earthenware Bricks, To The Haughty Mullioned
Windows With Ochre And Black Quoins.
But The True Center Of The Town Is The Very Old
Piazza Del Tocco, Onto Which Lead Seven Streets
That Delimit The Same Number Of Blocks.
The Most Beautiful Noble Buildings In Gerace Face
This Square And In Many Cases Their Original
Structure Is Unchanged.
