Fuscaldo
Tour this town’s well-preserved medieval quarter and spend time relaxing on its beach, set on the glorious Calabrian coastline.

Fuscaldo is one of the many pretty hilltop towns spread throughout the province of Cosenza. Visit the ancient landmarks that frame the architecturally impressive historic center. Relax at the beachfront and marina located on the Cedri Riviera. Fuscaldo passed between the Romans, Lombards and Byzantines before being fought over between noble families.

The medieval district of is a mixture of streets where churches, palaces and squares stand little changed from the town’s early beginnings. Porta di Juso and Porta Marina are two of the gateways that give the town its nickname, “Country of a Hundred Portals.” Look up at the flower-filled balconies and spot murals as you wander the narrow alleys.

Walk to the uppermost part of town to see the ruins of Castell dell’Elce. Enjoy fine views of the Calabrian countryside from the castle’s grounds.

Visit the town’s array of churches, including the Gothic-influenced Mother Church of Fuscaldo. The 17th-century Church of the Immaculate Conception is recognizable for its belfry adorned with 12 Corinthian columns. Enjoy sublime views of the coastline from the courtyard of the Church of St. Joseph. Explore the cloisters, exhibition halls, garden and library of the Convent of St. Francis Paola.

For a change of scenery, make your way to the coastal area called Marina di Fuscaldo. Find some 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) of beach backed by hotels, resorts and restaurants. San Giorgio Tower is a 16th-century watchtower erected to ward off Turkish and Saracen raiders.

Reach Fuscaldo by catching a train from other towns in the province of Cosenza such as Diamante, Paola and Scalea. It’s about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) from the historic center to the beachfront. Walking between the two is possible, although some of the roads may not have designated sidewalks.
