Roccelletta of Borgia’s “Scolacium” Park: it presents evidence of Magna-Greece like the forum, the basilicas, the religious buildings , the theatre and a largely interred amphitheatre. Adjacent to the area it can find the ruins of Saint Maria of Roccelletta’s basilica, of Norman descent, a time the biggest church of Calabria.(km 40)

Capo Colonna: the most eastern tip of Calabria. Placed on a promontory vertically on the sea, it preserves a Doric column, the only proof of a Greek temple dedicated to Hera Lacinia, sanctuary of Gulf Taranto’s Italiots. To the beginnings the columns were 48 and it seems they are survived until 1500.(km 30)
