Oppido Mamertina, Mountain commune in Reggio Calabria, Italy

The municipality sits at 342 meters above sea level on the slopes of Aspromonte, surrounded by ancient olive tree groves and Mediterranean vegetation.

The settlement traces its origins to the Mamertines, Campanian mercenaries who served under Agathocles of Syracuse in the third century BC and settled in this region.

The Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art exhibits a collection of crafted artworks, canvases, icons, and silverware that reflect the religious heritage of the region.

Thirty-five percent of Oppido Mamertina's territory lies within Aspromonte National Park, offering numerous hiking trails and natural observation points.

The archaeological site of Mella contains wide paved roads and civil buildings, with discovered coins indicating substantial commercial activities in ancient times.
