Zungri Cave Settlement

Highlight • Cave

It is a unique rock formation in Calabria, a truly magical place where you can immerse yourself in another culture, consisting of caves dug in the sandstone and natural freshwater springs.

The ancient, carved in the rock settlement is located about 20 km from Tropea and looks out on a deep valley and further on the "Gods" out, one of the most beautiful landscapes of Calabria.

The village probably dates from the 6th or 7th century, when the monks of the Basilian Order fled the persecution from the east and settled here on Monte Poro. The settlement comprises a total of one hundred caves, which served either as a habitation or as a granary. The oldest develops on four levels; a wall shows a fish-like incised drawing.

Hidden Trail of Zungri

Highlight • Trail

There is no way through the museum, you have to go down the last house in the village. Then to the chain dog who totally freaks out, pray that the chain will hold and then to the left past the barking. Rother hiking guide number 39.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snow of Zungri

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice sanctuary in the center of Zungri, nearby you will surely find a place to have a drink or relax for a moment. It seems that a painting by the great Raphael is kept inside this church.
