Overlooking the sea, Pizzo is one of the most picturesque and touristic places in the province. An ancient and lively medieval village, Pizzo was enlarged when Ferdinand of Aragon decided to build a castle here in 1486. It was here in 1815 that Joachim Murat, Marshal of the Empire, King of Naples (1808-1815) and Napoleon's brother-in-law, was shot after a brief imprisonment of fifteen days. His remains, transferred to the Basilica of San Giorgio, were never found. A cenotaph is dedicated to him and his wife Caroline Bonaparte in the Parisian cemetery of Père-Lachaise. To see: the Chiesa di Piedigrotta, a chapel dug into the rock by shipwrecked sailors.
