Cetraro, Coastal municipality in Province of Cosenza, Italy

Cetraro extends across 66 square kilometers of terrain, rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea to an elevation of 120 meters above sea level.

The original settlement was destroyed by corsairs in 1534 and experienced substantial damage during the earthquakes of 1638 and 1905.

Three ancient gates - Porta di Mare, di Basso, and di Sopra - mark the entrances to the old town, reflecting its past as a fortified settlement.

The Marina district provides modern facilities for both fishing vessels and recreational boats, with a tourist harbor and beachfront accommodations.

The Museum of the Brettii and the Sea displays archaeological artifacts alongside an extensive collection of regional maps dating from the 1400s onward.
