Province of Reggio Calabria, Former province at the southern tip of mainland Italy.

The province of Reggio Calabria extended over 3,183 square kilometers between the Tyrrhenian Sea and Ionian Sea, featuring mountains, coastal areas, and fertile valleys.

The territory served as a strategic point for Mediterranean trade since the 8th century BCE when Greeks established their colony of Rhegion at the present-day capital.

The National Archaeological Museum in Reggio Calabria displays numerous ancient artifacts, including the bronze statues discovered near Riace in 1972.

The container terminal at Gioia Tauro operates as one of the largest shipping ports in Italy, processing thousands of containers each year.

The province maintained exclusive cultivation rights for bergamot oranges, essential in perfume production and traditional to this specific geographic area.
