Discover La Petrizia between the Coast and History

La Petrizia between the Coast and the Hills

La Petrizia takes travellers into a landscape where historic buildings, local history passed down through generations and the coast of Sellia Marina appeal to different interests. Castello De Nobili della Bagliva is located on Viale delle Mimose in La Petrizia di Sellia Marina. For travellers choosing accommodation in this area, the spatial layout is useful: the SS 106 runs through the Sellia Marina area and separates the coastal settlement from the hilly inland region. When planning your stay, you can therefore consciously decide whether the coastal settlement or the hilly surroundings should be the focus of your days, without assuming distances or travel times.

The Castello and Historical Traces

Castello De Nobili della Bagliva was designed and built towards the end of the 18th century by the architect Andreotti on behalf of Don Emanuele De Nobili and Donna Olimpia Schipani. Descendants of the De Nobili della Bagliva family lived in the villa until 1972. An ancient paved road is documented in La Petrizia di Sellia Marina. One historical interpretation places a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena approximately at Colle del Sindaco in La Petrizia. In 1879, four towers made of old brick masonry still stood on the hills of La Petrizia.

Villas, Palaces and a Museum

The Museo Meridionale della Lambretta, a museum, and the Palazzo De Seta are located in the vicinity of La Petrizia. The ruins of the Sellia Marina LORAN-C Mast are also nearby. Villa De Nobili in Sellia Marina became increasingly unusable from the 1980s onwards due to a fire and a series of collapses. The Palazzo Ferrari - de Riso is located in the wider surrounding region. For travellers interested in culture, it is worthwhile to consider these different historical references separately, because their geographical locations range from the immediate vicinity to the wider surrounding region.

Coast and Beaches around Sellia Marina

Sellia Marina also has a strong coastal character. The Lungomare Jonio lines a 14-kilometre coastline with sandy beaches; the promenade is also accessible to people with reduced mobility. The Spiaggia di Ruggero and Spiaggia di Maringoli beaches are located in the immediate vicinity of La Petrizia. Spiaggia di Catanzaro Lido is in the surrounding area, while Spiaggia di Roccelletta lies in the wider surrounding region. These different geographical references are important for your planning: you can take coastal interests into account without treating these beaches as being equally close.

Local Character and Food

The local character can also be experienced at a specific location. Osteria U Nozzularu is located in Località La Petrizia in Sellia Marina, in a former stone olive mill that has been converted into a rustic dining room. When comparing accommodation for a stay focused on cultural, coastal and culinary interests, you can consider not only the coast and historic sites but also the specific location, Località La Petrizia.
