The 10 Best Things to do Good for Big Groups in Reggio Calabria, Calabria
Perhaps you're in town simply to catch a ferry to Sicily. If you can, though, try to take a later boat so you can explore Reggio di Calabria. The Lungomare road is a spectacular seaside walk. And the Bronzi di Riace, ancient Greek bronze statues discovered in the early 1970s, are worth seeking out at the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia.

The seafront of Reggio Calabria is almost two kilometers in a wide sky and sea scenario. It has the volcano Etna on the back stage. There is the monument to the Greek goddess Athena in honor of the then king of Italy Vittorio Emanuele III on the background of the Strait of Messina and the monument to the Victory of Italy in the First World War.

Opened on October 7th, 2010, the Diocesan Museum "Monsignor Aurelio Sorrentino" of Reggio Calabria is located on the ground floor of the archiepiscopal Palace built at the end of the 18th century next to the Cathedral of Maria SS.ma Assunta. The works of art are exhibited in thematically arranged locations: the first one is dedicated to the Fragments of the memory, with marble belonging to the ancient Cathedral from the 17th to the 19th century; the next is dedicated to the Celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, where visitors can see a reconstruction of an exceptional altar with original frontals and sacred vessels generally used for the Eucharist. A further location is dedicated to the Art for the Liturgy, with liturgical objects used for aspersion, censing, reading and preaching. Another important section is dedicated to the Treasure of the Cathedrals, where valuable sacred silverwares dating from the 16th to the 20th century are exhibited; one location is dedicated to the different insignia of the dignity and role of the Bishop, where the role of the single prelates as clients is clearly pointed out. Then, the section regarding the relation between Art and Devotion with furnishings, fittings and liturgical vestments belonged to the Confraternities of Reggio and last, but not least, the location dedicated to Art and Cult of Saints, with reliquaries and a collection of sacred images.The most important exhibited works of art are: the Resurrection of Lazar assumed to be by the Neapolitan painter Francesco De Mura, apprentice of Francesco Solimena (3rd decade of the 18th century); the Radial Monstrance painted by Francesco Jerace from Polistena, for the Regional Eucharistic Conference in Reggio Calabria in 1928; the Reliquary of the arm of St. John Theriste from the 18th century, which was given to monsignor Marcantonio Contestabile, bishop of Bova from 1669 to 1699, by Apollinare Agresta, the abbot of the Italian-Greek monastery in Stilo; the Pastoral cross staff of monsignor Antonio de Ricci, archbishop of Reggio from 1453 to 1490, a valuable old piece of silverware and enamelware in Neapolitan-school style; a Crucifix in ivory donated to the Cathedral by the archbishop Alessandro Tommasini; valuable precious handmade textiles which belonged to the Immaculate Confraternity, found in the church of SS. Annunziata; one of them is an altar-hanging made of silk brocade, made by a Lyionese manufacture (during the beginning of the 18th century); two silver crowns dating back to 1614 and belonging to the Renaissance marble bust of the Virgin Mary with Child, kept in the Con-Cathedral of the Virgin Mary Isodia in Bova; the 17th-century statue of St. John the Evangelist, the only work of art of a Calvary assumed to be by Fra' Diego da Careri and made for the Monastery of the Reformed Fathers of Reggio Calabria.

This ancient Greek theater replica is in the central part of Reggio's Lungomare, seaside promenade. It's certainly one of the highlights and Reggio's landmarks. The bronze statue of goddess Athena protects the people of Reggio, and is a perfect photo spot with Sicily in the background.

Definitely worth a visit . The roads getting there are very rough so be warned, that’s t is understandable as it’s not used very much, amazing place to visit. when you are walking through the ghost town it feels very eerie especially when I walked round the corner and see a cow standing there looking at you, right in the middle of the village. It’s hard to believe that this town was flooded out, and looking at the red river bed now it’s so dry .
