A holiday apartment in Cittadella Del Capo takes you to a coastal town whose range of themes extends from beaches and sea turtles to historic towers and a church. The beaches of Cittadella Del Capo are considered a nesting area for loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta on the Tyrrhenian coast in the Province of Cosenza. This combination of coast, nature observation and culture makes the town interesting for families who want to combine different ideas for their days during their holiday.
Coast and Nature in Cittadella Del Capo
At the beach in Cittadella Del Capo, loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta hatched from a nest and reached the sea; WWF volunteers monitored the hatching. This specific natural event complements the beaches’ connection to the nesting area. For families who want to include nature observation alongside time by the sea, this is a distinctive theme of the town. Termare Beach is located in the vicinity of Cittadella Del Capo and adds another specific destination to the coastal setting.
Towers from Different Eras
Torre di Fella is a Norman tower from the period between 1112 and 1154, the era of Roger II. Between 1378 and 1394, it was expanded by the feudal lord Tommaso Brancati. Torre di Parise is a square tower from the 16th century. The two towers therefore represent different historical periods. Torre di Parise also has a particularly clear connection to the location: it stands in the railway station area, a few metres from the beach.
Church and August Festival
The Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo was built in 1924 on the national road through the efforts of several benefactors. A statue of Saint Francis of Paola, depicting his crossing of the Strait of Messina, was also brought to the church. The festival in his honour is celebrated on the third Sunday in August. For a trip in August, this fixed date offers a specific cultural point of reference.
