About Lamezia Terme
Lamezia Terme was founded in the south of Italy and it is a small city located on the border of Calabria that is a region of the country. This city, which was formed by the gathering of the historical regions called Sant'Eufemia Lamezia, Nicastro and Sambiase, is situated on the one point of the Italian Peninsula, which looks like a boot. The distance from the important centers of the region to Catanzaro is only 35 kilometers.
The city, which was founded between the Ionian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, is almost like a large open-air museum. Its official date of establishment is the year of 1964, and Lamezia Terme consists of several nearby communes that come together. Bagni Stream flowing near the city is considered to have healing power by many thanks to its dense sulfur. And therefore, many visitors, who want to take advantage of the sulfur source by taking a bath every year, visit Bagni Stream.
The region, which was known as Neo Castrum (that means ‘New Castle’) in the Byzantine period, started to make progress with the help of the monasteries and churches built since the 9th century. Thereafter, the city became increasingly important thanks to the growing development of land and sea trade within the region. The population of the region, which hosts the Gren and Italian settlers, has reached its current situation thanks to ongoing migration. Historical artifacts descended from the Greek colonies in Lamezia Terme have still importance today as they had in the past. If you prefer to travel to the city, you should definitely see the parts of the castle built on a high hill, the Maltese Knights Tower built for the defense of the region and the Church of San Pancrazio, which have survived since the 18th century. You can also visit the Cathedral Museum, where you can enjoy the magnificent paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Santa Maria di Corazzo Monastery, which hosts scholars who succeeded important works for Christianity, charms every visitor with its mystical atmosphere.
