The historical-naturalistic beauties of Tortora

Tortora - Tortora is the northernmost municipality of the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, and is also considered one of the most beautiful villages of the Riviera dei Cedri. Known above all for its coasts and shores, and for the sea that has received the Blue Flag award several times, Tortora is also a treasure trove of history and art. The core of the city is in fact very ancient, dating back to the times of the Lucanians and then the Romans.

The testimonies of the ancient settlements can be found in the Blanda Museum, which is a museum that contains many archaeological finds and more. In fact, the structure is state-of-the-art, as it makes abundant use of new technologies to reconstruct ancient objects and environments in 3D. Then there are the necropolis of Palecastro, where there is also a very well preserved settlement from the Roman era. The historic center of the village features eighteenth-century palaces and churches that preserve valuable works of art inside. From the historic center you can quickly reach the Pollino Park.
