Morano Calabro

Morano Calabro stands at 694 meters above sea level, with stone houses arranged in tiers along narrow streets within the Pollino National Park.

The settlement emerged as a Roman waypoint on the route between Capua and Reggio Calabria, marked by the ancient Lapis Pollae milestone in second century BC.

The Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli Pietro e Paolo, established in 1007, contains artworks by prominent sculptors and a polyptych by Bartolomeo Vivarini.

The town connects to major cities through the A2 highway and local bus services, with multiple restaurants serving regional Calabrian specialties.

The Il Nibbio project works to restore abandoned medieval houses and maintains a nature museum displaying local wildlife from the Pollino Mountains.
