Ruins of Amendolea

Highlight • Historical Site

Here are the ruins of a site with a beautiful panorama, but currently in a state of abandonment and therefore can be dangerous, despite being openly accessible.

Castello Ruffo

Highlight • Castle

Although almost everything was destroyed, the Castello dell'Amendolea, also known as Ruffo di Amendolea, is one of the greatest Greek symbols of the province of Reggio Calabria. Victim of numerous Saracen raids, with extensive renovations, the castle in ruins to this day, occupies much of the cliff where it was built for the dominant defensive position.
