The town

Cosenza is an Italian city of Calabria, capital of the homonymous province.

Cosenza, was born on the hills along the Crati river valley, in the area where it flows into the Busento, a confluence that separates the historic centre, located on the Pancrazio hill, and the new city, developed along the left bank of the Crati.

The historic core, better known as Cosenza vecchia, reflects the common facies of the ancient hillside settlements, dominated by steep, narrow and winding alleys along which stands a building made up of small buildings and stately palaces, perched on the hill Pancrazio, subsequently on the Guarassano and Torrevetere hills, to the left of the Crati, while the houses on the remaining surrounding hills, Gramazio, Triglio, Mussano and Venneri, are very rare.
