San Lorenzo Bellizzi
The prehistoric village among the Raganello Gorges
Town
San Lorenzo Bellizzi - Regione Calabria
The natural charm of San Lorenzo Bellizzi, a village in the Pollino National Park in the province of Cosenza, lies in its breathtaking location, nestled between the valleys that open up across the "Raganello Gorge" Nature Reserve and the cliffs of San Lorenzo, Cassano and Falconara.
The perfect place for lovers of outdoor sports, but also for those looking to discover small, authentic villages, San Lorenzo Bellizzi is the ideal destination for a day trip.
A cluster of houses inhabited by just under 500 people, the historic centre of San Lorenzo Bellizzi seems suspended in time and reminds everyone of its prehistoric origins, dating back to the Neolithic period, as evidenced by the archaeological remains of the burial site found in the Pietra Sant'Angelo Cave (7000 years ago), one of the most evocative places to visit. The name, San Lorenzo Bellizzi, is directly linked to the baronial family of the same name in the area, who built the first Chapel of San Lorenzo in devotion to the local saint. It then passed into the ownership of the Marquises Pignatelli (1534).
