Laino Borgo - Regione Calabria

Laino Borgo is in the province of Cosenza, in the heart of the Pollino National Park. Rich in fascinating stories, but above all in uncontaminated nature, Laino Borgo is perfect for those who love outdoor adventures.

We are in the ‘’Lao River Valley‘’ Nature Reserve, a favourite spot for rafting in Calabria and a series of unmissable river sports and excursions.

In addition to adrenalin sports, Laino Borgo offers the beauty of its historical centre, among the smallest in Italy but rich in numerous churches and chapels, such as the Mother Church of the Santo Spirito, the most important building of worship, and the Shrine of the Madonna dello Spasimo, also known as the ‘’Shrine of the Chapels‘’, among the Marian shrines venerated in Calabria. As the name suggests, the characteristic feature of this site are the small chapels scattered around, representing reproductions of the ‘’holy places‘’ of Jerusalem, frescoed and decorated with Gospel quotations.

Not to be missed in Laino Borgo is the so-called ‘’Judaica‘’, which takes place on Good Friday and is rightfully among the Calabrian Easter rites not to be missed: a long procession with 200 participants, staging 19 re-enactments of the Passion of Christ.
