ROSETO CAPO SPULICO
Roseto Capo Spulico is situated on the confines
of the territory forming part of Basilicata along the Jonic
coasts, not too distant from the Pollino National
Park.
History
The centre sprung up during the Medieval era (X century)
and with the arrival of the Normans, took on a particular
territorial importance by becoming the border between the
property of Robert Guiscard and his brother, Ruggero (end
of the XI century). From this period, it’s certain that
the first garrison was constructed to preside over the Jonic
coasts.
Under the Swabians (1196-1269), construction began of the
Frederican Castle (1220-69), which today still exists in a
good state of preservation.
At the end of the XX century, the tourism industry began in
Roseto, thanks to the presence of a beautiful marina with
crystal clear water.
A visit to the City
The princely attraction of Roseto Capo Spulico is clearly
its Castle, encircled by town walls containing characteristic
towers and merlons.
One can visit the S. Maria della Consolazione Church and the
Spúlico Tower, a defensive garrison looking out over
the coastal area.
There are numerous possible visits to neighbouring Calabrian
centres: Amendolara, Rocca Imperiale, Oriolo. And also to
centres in Basilicata: Tursi, Rotondella, Policoro.
One will find the Pollino National Park only a few kilometres
away from the territory.
