    Cosenza is a nice town, although not much to do. We stopped there when we drove from Naples to Sicily.

    The cathedral dates back to the 12th century and was inaugurated by Frederick II of Swabia himself. Very well preserved, it houses the tomb of Frederick's son (Henry VII) and Isabella of Aragon, Queen of France.

    If you visit Cosenza I recommend visiting the castle. An earthquake damaged the norman castle but Angevins rebuilt the destroyed parts. It is well preserved and, considering the Bourbons period too. Moreover, you have a great view of the city from above.

    After spending time in the old town the walk down and across the bridge gives an amazing photo opportunity.

    This is a nice collection of local art from the area's churches. The way it is displayed, you can see it up close.

    "Lay" visitors -- i.e., persons without training in archaeology -- may at first be put off by the Museo dei Brettii e degli Enotri. The cabinets of grave goods, the detailed maps, the analyses of changes in burial practices may at first not be of interest to casual visitors.

    However, the exhibits bear directly on fascinating and significant issues. For instance, what were the relationships between indigenous population groups and Greek settlers? More specifically, what technical advances, if any, where introduced by Greek colonialists? What happened as the power of the Roman empire faded? What practices persisted? What role or roles did elites play, especially with respect to the creation of larger, stronger political entities? Why have the accomplishments of indigenous groups often been overlooked? How large and/or stable were the political units already in place when the Greek colonialists and, later, the Romans arrived?

    Also worth noting: (1) The museum is housed in a very attractive building. (2) The excellent explanations and commentary are presented in English as well as in Italian.

    This is a beautiful villa of bygone times occupied by a noble family and now used as a museum . The family were in the silk trade and Alfonso Rendnao a famous musician. Visitors can go through a series of room to learn of the city's fascinating history form the times of Brettia, a warrior woman to a virtual reality view of current day Cosenza. A must see museum with a panoramic view from the top of the building.

    A cool place for a hot summer day in this old park with shade and benches. Good for a stroll if you are visiting
