Catanzaro, Regional capital in Calabria, Italy
Located between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas, Catanzaro sits at 342 meters elevation on a limestone cliff overlooking the Gulf of Squillace.
Byzantine forces established Catanzaro as a strategic settlement in the 10th century, constructing a fortress called Katantzárion to defend against coastal invasions.
The provincial museum displays archaeological findings from ancient civilizations, including Greek and Roman artifacts discovered throughout the Calabria region.
The city connects to major transport routes through Lamezia Terme International Airport and maintains regular train services to Rome and other Italian cities.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Catanzaro developed into a major European silk production center, influencing weaving techniques as far as Lyon, France.
