Travel Guide Reggio Calabria

The instability of the ground has led to Reggio Calabria being rebuilt many times, which explains its rather modern appearance in some areas. However, Reggio Calabria is a beautiful city and gives off all the atmosphere of Italy or Sicily with its beautiful houses in baroque style, its long avenues, its balconies or bow-windows, in a mixed set of old a little dilapidated and chic buildings. After a few years of rehabilitation work, the city has changed a lot and it is with enthusiasm that we will go for a walk along what was and still is "the most beautiful kilometer of Italy" (according to the writer Gabriele D'Annunzio). The lungomare is delicious and has been renovated. It is both a walk with feet in the water, a long and wide course on the heights for walkers, bicycles, sportsmen, and it is always lined with rare trees with huge roots visible in the middle of the boulevard. You can discover the athletic curves of the bronzes of Riace, these breathtaking sculptures of the Greek civilization, centerpieces of the National Archaeological Museum. The dominant architecture of the city center of Reggio Calabria is Liberty, the Italian variant of Art Nouveau. Rehabilitation work has begun in several areas of the city to refurbish its historical and cultural heritage. You will not fail to be charmed.
