Itinerary through 50 km and 2,000 years of history
There is a history hidden between the Ionian Sea and the Calabrian Serre that speaks of a powerful, industrious and rich Calabria. Rich in that mineral, iron, which forged the development of civilization. Between ancient and modern history and industrial archaeology, we will venture on a journey from ancient Kaulonia with its coins and early weapons, to the blast furnaces and workers' villages guarded in the woods of the Calabrian Serre Park.
We will pass through archaeological sites, forests, and villages, where museums and murals will help us better understand the remnants of history we encounter on our way.
