Going down the coast, one reaches Pizzo, a small picturesque medieval city that historically dates back precisely at the end of the 1300, situated right on the sea. Its historical center is a maze of alleyways running into its main piazza “Piazza Della Repubblica”, a meeting place during the summer nights.

The station (La Stazione) is also visible on our map:

Apart from its long sandy beaches with rocky bays there are several artistic attractions as:

Castello Murat, the historical Arogonese castle of Pizzo which was built in the 15^th century. The castle is mostly known as the place where Joachim Murat, Napoleon's brother in law was executed. The castle is open to visitors that can see the reconstruction of the last days of Joachin in 1815, an incredible slice of history.

The little Church of Piedigrotta, dug into the tuff, is also a local attraction. A church that is dedicated to a real story and represents a miracle for a group of sailors. The statues and sculptures are made of tuff and they continuously present a changing and soft brightness. The sculptors (Angelo, Alfonso and Giorgio Barone)

The church of Saint George, a baroque church that preserves some valuable sculptural works inside, built in the second half of the 1500’s on the ruins of an existing church.

The place that needs to be valued is an area covered by the station and not the station itself. The wall, situated under a terrace, had a big potential but no one has this opportunity.

The carelessness of this wall faces the wonderful view. The uncontaminated seaside gives space to the crystalline water which is right next to it. Thanks to it this place cause a serene sensation and let the visitors to walk along the platform under the wall, followed by the sound of the sea waves. Using that space could only enrich the natural beauty of it.

The position of the wall is favourable to the exposition of the masterpiece beacause it’s also visible by the overcrouded beaches during summer perfect for passing hours and hours under the hot sun of Calabria.
