Lago Cecita

Lago Cecita spans across 4.26 square kilometers within Sila National Park, reflecting the surrounding mountain slopes at an elevation of 1,143 meters.

Construction of the reservoir began in 1947 by Lodigiani company and completed in 1951, creating a water system on the Mucone River for hydroelectric purposes.

The reservoir connects three municipalities - Spezzano della Sila, Longobucco, and Celico - each contributing to the regional identity of Calabria.

The water system supplies irrigation for potato fields in the surrounding area while generating electricity through the Vaccarizzi hydroelectric power plant.

The reservoir maintains a water volume of 108 cubic hectometers, extending 7.5 kilometers through the mountainous terrain of La Sila range.
