🇮🇹Italy, Rocca Imperiale Commune

Rocca Imperiale, whose name can be translated as "imperial rock", is a popular resort located in the Italian region of Calabria on the coast of the Ionian Sea. Only about 3.5 thousand people live in the town all the time, but in the "high" season its population increases significantly due to tourists! This ancient Rocca Imperiale once played an important role, as it was conveniently located on the way from Puglia to Calabria. The city was founded in the 13th century by Emperor Frederick II and was named after the majestic castle towering on a cliff. The place for the construction of the castle was not chosen by chance – from the cliff there is a beautiful view of the entire Tarant Bay from the "heel" to the "toe" of the Italian "boot". The castle itself, from which only fragments of walls, bastions and bridges have been preserved, is currently undergoing reconstruction under the auspices of UNESCO.
