Subjects : The entire historic center of Stilo, as well as its Parco della Cattolica, the nearby Norman castle, offer excellent photographic ideas. Historic center of Byzantine origin in which the pregotic styles due to the subsequent Norman conquest of Calabria were mixed. To be forographed: the ruins of the Byzantine churches, the Cattolica, the historic center, the nearby Norman castle.

Recommended equipment : Optional tripod (useful in case of HDR or focus stacking, nothing else), standard zoom lenses, and hope there is no haze

Best months : in summer it certainly does not rain but cracks from the heat, a lot of mist. recommended autumn or better yet, spring with blue sky and breeze.

How to get there : Take the exit towards Rosarno from E4519 min (33,4 km)Take S.da Statale 106 Jonica to Marina di Gioiosa Ionica from SS68231 min (37,0 km)Follow S.da Statale 106 Jonica to Monasterace Marina22 min (28,5 km)Take Strada Provinciale 9/SP9 towards Via Cattolica a Stilo

Visits : Just to visit the Catholic c is to buy the ticket online, while the Norman castle and other sites are free. In addition, the entrance ticket is free every FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH.

Notes : To be struck by the evocative atmosphere, it is first necessary to read up on the history of the place, on the Byzantine influences (then Constantinople) in Calabria in the ninth and tenth centuries and on the subsequent Norman conquests. Otherwise they look stupid and useless ruins. Still nearby, there is an Orthodox monastery inhabited by Romanian monks and another with Ukrainian monks. This type of tourism requires a minimum of cultural baggage
