Bagnara Calabra has to many interesting places to visit. At Piazza Marconi, located in the central area of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, we found the monument to Vincenzo Fondacaro a solo sailor, with the phrase Audere Semper meaning Always Dare. In the city center, we find the fountain of Garibaldi (1864). At Marinella, the historic district of fishermen, there is a tower dating from the fifteenth, sixteenth century, called Aragon Tower or Capo Rocchi or King Roger. It was once part of a system of towers that served viewpoints against Saracen incursions along the Tyrrhenian coast: it has also been designated as the 32nd tower of Calabria Ultra. Continuing along Route 18, you can admire Villa De Leo (Art Nouveau), which represents the first major project stately home with a seismic structure. The city also counts with several historic churches like the church of Maria SS. of Rosary which houses the remarkable marble statue called the Almighty. Talking about sweets, a characteristic production of Bagnara is the nougat.
Tips
The city is very nice for a summer vacation to enjoy the sea and the beach.

You will find different types of accommodation from bed & breakfast to 4 star hotels.
