Taverna: Culture, Market Life and Calabrian Food Festivals

Taverna can be discovered from several perspectives. If you compare culture, local markets, events, sporting activities and destinations in the surrounding region, you will find various specific points of interest here. When choosing accommodation, your own travel itinerary is therefore particularly important: Would you rather visit museums and historic sites, plan a market visit, experience a festival or include a sporting activity?

Church, Monument and Museums

The cultural side of Taverna is first reflected in the Church of the Holy Trinity. It was built in 1956 at the expense of Nicola Canonaco. A monument honoring the Brettii people was inaugurated in the municipal villa of Taverna di Montalto Uffugo. The form of the Brettii sculpture gives you photo opportunities and adds a distinctive accent among the places you visit.

The area around Taverna also includes several museums and a historic palace: Palazzi Marconi Palace, the Museo per l'Ambiente, the Ellebi Galleria D'Arte and the Museo MAB. This brings together a range of cultural points of interest, from architecture and religious heritage to museums and art. Those who enjoy combining different themes on a trip to Italy can include these places in their personal daily itinerary without reducing Taverna to just one attraction.

Festivals, Market and Local Food Culture

Events provide the town with further specific points of interest. The Christmas Village in Taverna took place for its seventh edition. The 2023 edition included more than 20 events for all age groups, especially children. At the Christmas Village in Villa Comunale Ettore Canonaco, craft stalls offered handmade decorations, artistic items and local gastronomic products.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception in Taverna di Montalto Uffugo also combines religious tradition with culture and entertainment. The AmariAmoci festival dedicated to Calabrian amari, held in Villa Comunale Ettore Canonaco in Taverna di Montalto Uffugo, includes botanicals, mixology, tastings, a gastronomic experience and entertainment. For your travel interests, this results in a mix of festival culture, regional products and culinary activities. For everyday orientation, Taverna's market takes place regularly on Tuesday mornings.

Surroundings, Landscape and Sport

The surrounding area also broadens the range of options. Mount Cozzo Cervello and Parco Giorcelli are located near Taverna. Further afield in the region are Mount Monte Scuro and Termare beach. For your planning, it is worth distinguishing between destinations in the immediate surroundings and those farther away in the region. This allows you to consider cultural sightseeing, market life, landscape and a stay at the beach as different focal points.

One sporting option is the Cittadella dello Sport “Don Gaetano Mauro”. The facility has four padel courts. A court at the Cittadella dello Sport “Don Gaetano Mauro” can be booked directly via an app; visitors can also go to the facility in person. When choosing your hotel in Taverna, you can arrange these topics according to your personal travel itinerary and consider the location of your accommodation accordingly as part of your own daily planning.
