Riace, Coastal municipality in Calabria, Italy
The municipality of Riace extends across 16 square kilometers of terrain at 300 meters above sea level near the Ionian Sea.
In 1972, divers discovered two ancient Greek bronze warrior statues dating from the 5th century BCE in the waters off Riace's coast.
Local festivals in Riace celebrate traditional Calabrian music, dance performances, and regional culinary specialties throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the surrounding area by taking hiking trails through the nearby Aspromonte National Park and along the Ionian coastline.
Between 2004 and 2018, Riace implemented an integration program that revitalized the town by welcoming migrants into its aging population.
