Introducing Cosenza
Cosenza has an amazing surprise clasped to its chest. Struggle through its urban outskirts and tangle of flyovers to find the medieval core, a higgledy-piggledy pile of buildings rising above the confluence of the Crati and Busento rivers. Explore its narrow alleys and steep stairways, and you’ll find a fascinating town, pretty but not prettified, untouristed, with a touch of the Wild West about its dilapidated shopfronts.

Cosenza is home to Calabria’s most important university, and its theatre hosts an excellent opera season. It’s also the gateway to La Sila’s mountains and is a major transport hub. There’s a riverside Friday morning market.
