Cycling

Castrovillari is located in the heart of the Pollino National Park, between the valleys of the rivers Sibari and Lagano and along the cycle path of the parks of Calabria. Its name derives from the Latin Castrum Villarum, "fortress of the villas", dating back to the era of Roman colonization. Of particular interest is the Aragonese Castle, built on the hill of the ancient village.

The city on the eastern edge of the Pollino National Park not only has a lot to offer in terms of landscape, but also culturally: In the city center you will find countless historical buildings, including the Aragonese Castle and various churches. In addition, the service center of the Pollino National Park is housed in the historical palace “Palazzo Gallo”.
