Description

Town in the province of Catanzaro, situated on a panoramic hill at short distance from the Tyrrhenian coast, Falerna is located in an area inhabited since the Ages of Magna Greece and the Roman Imperial times, as evidenced by numerous finds unearthed during the excavations made in the seventies and eighties of the XX century. The town, however, is mentioned for the first time in a Summary of the Vatican, dated 1606.
From the marina, during a clear day the view extends from the Etna to the Aeolian Islands.
