Belvedere Marittimo

Belvedere Marittimo is a town in the province of

Cosenza. Its territory covers a stretch of the

Tyrrhenian coast from Serluca Calabaia to Santa

Litterata, passing through Capo Tirone.

The old town has maintained all the

characteristics of an ancient medieval

hamlet with noble buildings, alleyways and

gates, and it overlooks a wide view of the

mountains and sea.

The old town of Belvedere Marittimo holds

several monuments and churches, including

the Cappucini Convent which is dedicated to

home-town saint San Daniele, who was born

here and martyred in Morocco in 1227. The

convent contains the mortal remains of St.

Valentine inside the altar. In fact, Belvedere

Marittimo celebrates the saint with a big

party, earning the town the name of "City of

love", bringing couples here to declare their

love or celebrate their anniversaries every

Valentine's Day. The convent's cloister is a

lovely space of arcades enclosed within the

building, with a water well in the middle.

The castle with its heavy cylindrical towers was originally built by

the Normans in the 11th century but was redone by the Aragons in

their preferred style in the 1490s, giving it the distinctive look

their Spanish-influenced fortresses are known for.

The tower of Tirone is a 16th century

Spanish water tower on the coast, in the

modern town of Marina di Belvedere,

which was originally a coastal defense

structure, then used as a customs house

to assess taxes and control the

movement of goods in these waters. In

Belvedere, you'll find a modern town

centered on the waterfront, with beaches

backed by the bluff, and the old town of

Belvedere visible behind it on the hill.

The hills offer natural sculpture

formations created by wind and erosion,

with hiking trails and beautiful views.

Diamante: The City of MuralsIn Diamante you can visit a lot of things, for example, the

murals. In fact, Diamante is called "the city of murals"

because there are a lot of them.

The murals are an attraction for tourists. They were

painted in different periods and every year, in summer, a

lot of tourists take pictures of them. Moreover, some

murals represent people that lived in Diamante in the

past.

Artists come to Diamante to draw and to express their

ideas on the walls of houses!

At the end of summer, in a period that goes from 5th to 9th

of September, there’s the Hot Chili Pepper Festival. In this

period, a lot of tourists (about 100.000 people) come to

see this festival.

In the picture, next to Elisabetta Gregoraci, there’s the

king of the Hot Chili Pepper, Giovanni Pellegrino. He’s

such a funny person! There are also a lot of attractions,

for example, giants on stilts, flag-wavers, musicians, etc.

This is a fantastic festival and people who come to

Diamante to see it have a lot of fun!

Hot Chili Pepper Festival

Every year, people that organise this festival invite a famous person. Last year, for example, Elisabetta

Gregoraci came to Diamante for the festival.
