Longobardi
A name that evokes an ancient history
Calabria Tirrenica
Longobardi - Regione Calabria
Located along the Tyrrhenian coast in the province of Cosenza, Longobardi, as its name suggests, is an important outpost of Longobard culture in Calabria, as well as one of the most popular seaside resorts in the area.
It seems that Longobardi was founded by King Liutprand himself in the 6th century. The name of the town highlights the ancient border between the Duchy of Benevento and the Byzantine possessions.
Today Longobardi is a popular summer destination and its historic centre bears witness to its important past: from the Church of San Francesco to the Collegiate Church, passing by the palaces in the central streets, such as Palazzo Pellegrini, with its magnificent staircase and noble coat of arms in the courtyard, and Palazzo Preste.
The more contemporary soul of Longobardi is expressed in the numerous murals that enliven the streets, the works of street artists involved in a form of revitalisation that has now taken hold in many small towns in Calabria.
