Blessed with sultry weather, beautiful scenery, and a flourishing food and wine scene, Catanzaro is the magnetic capital of the Calabria region. It's known as the "City of the Two Seas", a nod to its position between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts. The ancient city has Greek and Byzantine roots, with the Kings of Sicily, Normans, and Vespers later staking claim to Catanzaro. Today travelers flock to Catanzaro to admire historic architecture, visit local history museums and devour the region's famous cucina povera cuisine.
