Crossroads of paths below Cozzo Sprovvieri. The Camino di San Francesco di Paola also crosses here, a network of routes that follow in the footsteps of the patron saint of Calabria, crossing the places that witnessed his life.

At the entrance to the historic center of the town, on the SP 35, is the statue of San Francesco di Paola, made of bronze and resting on a stone base. It represents the patron saint of Calabria and of seafarers, with open arms as a sign of welcome and blessing.

Just before the last stretch to reach Mount Cocuzzo, an excellent view of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Very ancient city, dating back to the 8th century BC. which rises on the Pancrazio hill, in the valley of the Crati river. City rich in monuments and history. Not far away, in Rende, is the campus of the University of Calabria, which makes the area a lively urban agglomeration.
