The Underground Piazza Italia - The Greek walls

The first stop is in the heart of the modern city, in the archaeological area of Piazza Italia, the commercial and historical heart of the city. The eleven layers of construction, highlighted by excavations, provide a real timeline with respect to the history of the Calabrian city. The oldest dates back to the Magna Greek period and is overlaid with Roman, Byzantine, Norman, and Angevin artefacts up to the base of the foundation of the statue of Ferdinando di Borbone, which dates back to 1823. Heading down south east for less than a kilometre, the Hellenistic walls that have protected the city up until modern times are found near Piazza Camagna.
