Torricella between the Sea, Pilgrimage and Culture

Torricella combines a maritime horizon with religious traditions and cultural and historical sites in its surroundings. The officially defined area of Torricella Inferiore extends eastward to the sea. The Corpus Domini Parish is located in Cda Torricella, 87064 Corigliano Rossano. These two points of reference alone show that the area can appeal to different travel interests: the coast and religious history stand side by side.

Pilgrimage and religious traditions

The religious side includes the Croce della Misericordia pilgrimage, which led to the parish of Corpus Domini in Torricella on the occasion of the handover of the cross.
