Civita

Civita is a small commune in the Province of Cosenza in southern Italy, situated on a hillside in the Calabria region. The settlement comprises a few hundred residents living in a compact area with typical stone buildings characteristic of this part of Italy.

This commune was established in medieval times as part of Calabria's historical settlement pattern. Like many southern Italian villages, it developed under Byzantine and later Norman rule that shaped the region's character.

Visitors can reach the village via local roads from nearby larger towns and should expect to navigate winding mountain passages. The best time to visit is during mild spring or autumn months when the hilly terrain is easily accessible on foot.
