A Glimpse into the Past

Founded by the Greeks and later shaped by Byzantines and Normans, Gerace has a rich tapestry of history. The spectacular Norman cathedral, one of southern Italy’s largest, and the remnants of the ancient castle bear witness to the town’s importance over the centuries. Wander through ancient squares and churches and you’ll feel the past come alive around you.
