Roseto Capo Spulico, the pearl of the Upper Ionian Coast of Calabria
In the heart of Calabria, where the crystalline waters of the Ionian Sea meet coastlines of rare beauty, lies a jewel that preserves centuries of history and charm: Roseto Capo Spulico. This medieval village, nestled between unspoiled nature and vestiges of the past, represents one of the most evocative destinations of the Upper Ionian Coast of Cosenza.
The origins of Roseto Capo Spulico are rooted in the most ancient times. This territory was part of the twenty-five colonies that revolved around the powerful Sybaris, testifying to the strategic importance of this area as far back as the time of Magna Graecia.

The picturesque streets wind among charming houses with an Arabic flavor, while evocative alleyways lead visitors to discover the typical “Gamie” – characteristic stone arches that supported the staircases of the dwellings and covered their entrances.
