The Museum and Archaeological Park of Capo Colonna are located on one of the most evocative promontories along the Ionian coast of Calabria, a place of extraordinary historical and symbolic importance. Here, where the renowned sanctuary dedicated to Hera Lacinia once stood, a living testimony to the devotion, art, and daily life of the ancient peoples of Magna Graecia is preserved. Visiting Capo Colonna means immersing oneself in a landscape that blends nature and archaeology, following paths that lead among the remains of the temple, sacred areas, fortifications, and traces of Greek and Roman settlements. The museum galleries house precious artefacts that recount the millennia-long history of the promontory and of the city of Kroton, offering visitors a fascinating journey through the centuries, from mythical origins to the present day.
