The huge Cathedral of Calabria, also known as Maria SS. Assunta in Cielo, is the center of religious life in the city. Admire the grand façade from outside before entering the spacious interior to inspect its detailing, which includes bronze bas-reliefs, religious paintings and other ornamental decorations. The church has been damaged by earthquakes and wars over the centuries. Read the inscriptions on the memorial stone on the right aisle, which record some of the damaging incidents to have befallen the structure. The cathedral was rebuilt several times, most recently after the 1908 earthquake. Measuring 308 feet (94 meters) long, 72 feet (22 meters) wide and 69 feet (21 meters) high, the cathedral is one of the largest churches in the region. Admire the gleaming white façade of the church, which was rebuilt in Romanesque style. Enter the interior, where a reverent atmosphere pervades. As you explore, look for the remains of a column kept in the right side chapel of the presbytery. According to local legend, this column is said to have exploded into flame while St. Paul the Apostle was preaching here in Reggio di Calabria in A.D. 61, and serves as a symbol of how St. Paul’s words set alight the spark of Christianity in the people listening to his sermon. Search for the restored Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament to see colorful inlaid marble detailing. Other notable features include statues of St. Stephenand St. Paul, which were completed by acclaimed Calabrian sculptor Francesco Jerace in 1934\. Several other local artists, including painter Alberto Bonfà, have works hung here. Other precious pieces include *l’Altare Maggiore* in bronze, a 19th-century painting by GiuseppeCrestadoro and Domenico Maroli’s 17th-century oil painting on the altar, which depicts the sacrifice of Melchisedeck from the book of Genesis. The cathedral also has several colorful stained-glass windows. Arrive late in the afternoon before sunset and notice how the sun shines through them, producing colorful beams. Find the Cathedral of Calabria in the center of the city of Reggio di Calabria. The cathedral faces onto Piazza Duomo. ## Plan a trip to see Reggio Calabria Cathedral Price found within the past 48 hours.

(256 reviews) I tried to reached to them a week before my travel to get some information about the transport options to the hotel nobody responded i was already heading towards the hotel when i received an email in italian with useless information. On the day of arrival at reception they told me most of the facilities are closed including the restaurant none of this was mentioned while i made the bookings. The lady at the reception on 23rd around 13:30 while speaking to me in between exchanged words in her language with her staff member and both laughed and passed weird expressions which is very unprofessional and insulting to do to your guests. We went into the room noticed even the basic things are not in the room for a 4 star hotel. Only 2 water bottles in the fridge no kettle no tea bags no iron, Broken cupboards, Ants in the balcony, broken hair dryer, noisy Bed We asked them for extra towels 3 times finally had to get down and ask for 4 time.The AC was blowing air not cooling the room due to this my 1 year old got unwell and had temperature. I requested to make the AC work nothing changed. We went to speak at the reception and when we mentioned our baby is unwell they laughed at us at this moment we realised its a very unsafe place to stay.extremely rude and unprofessional staff worst hotel experience of my life.I had to leave the hotel and make another booking at a different place.

(255 reviews) The hotel is lovely, great location and our room was big with a beautiful view. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with enough vegan options for us. However, when we checked in, we were told the restaurant was all full for dinner and couldn't make reservations. We were tired from traveling all day and very hungry. The hotel should have been able to accommodate 2 more people for dinner.
