Rende, Administrative center in Province of Cosenza, Italy
Rende extends from the Crati River to the Serre Cosentine mountains, encompassing both an elevated old town and a modern district at ground level.
Ancient settlers established the town of Acheruntia, which later transformed into Aruntia around 520 BC before evolving into present-day Rende.
The Norman Castle from 1095 and Santa Maria Maggiore Church stand as primary architectural monuments representing different periods of local history.
