If you have never visited Cosenza yet, this is the right time. Cosenza is one of Southern Italy’s best cities for art, history and culture. It’s not by chance if it’s also known as Italy’s Athene, as it stretches over seven hills and is surrounded by a vast and heterogeneous territory (it’s one of Italy’s largest provinces). There’s a lot to see and experience in Cosenza. Here, you can enjoy day trips in the surroundings or have fun practicing water and mountain sports. Cosenza has been inhabited since the dawn of time. It was the capital of the Bruttians, who prospered in a rich and flourishing city. The historical buildings, noble houses, the churches and the Duomo give evidence of Cosenza’s glorious past. Narrow streets, uphill and downhill alleys and the views over domes and gardens are the distinctive feature of this city full of wonders.
