Montalto Uffugo, Italian comune
Montalto Uffugo is a commune in the Province of Cosenza in Calabria, situated on a hilltop overlooking the surrounding plain. The settlement combines an older central core with more recent residential areas spreading down the slopes.
The settlement developed during a period when many Calabrian villages were founded on hilltops for protection against coastal raids. This elevated location shaped how the community evolved and expanded throughout the centuries.
The town is easily reached by road and offers basic services including shops and restaurants concentrated in the center. Visitors should be prepared for cobblestone streets and stairs in the older quarters.
