Altomonte, Medieval town in Cosenza Province, Italy

Altomonte stands at 455 meters above sea level in the Calabria region, covering an area of 65 square kilometers with stone buildings and narrow streets.

The Norman castle from the 12th century underwent several modifications by different landowners, incorporating architectural elements from various historical periods.

The Church of Madonna della Consolazione and its Dominican Monastery, now housing the Civic Museum, represent central elements of religious heritage.

The town maintains direct transportation connections to major Calabrian cities, with accommodations ranging from local guesthouses to restored historic buildings.
