"At a distance, then, of six miles, within a large valley, but high up on a
hillside, ten miles away from the sea, Zagarise
can be seen...
With this beautiful description, the esteemed preacher Father Giovanni Fiore da
Cropani, a writer of the early 1600's,
begins to talk of Zagarise in his famous historical work: 'Della Calabria
illustrata'. Today, examining the ancient town
centre of Zagarise, one immediately realises how it is composed of two distinct
nuclei: the first which has developed around
the Norman Tower and the Chiesa del Ritiro church, including the present
streets, via Marconi, via dei Filippini and via
Paolo Emilio Tulelli; the second, much smaller than the first, centres around
the Chiesa Madre church.
Things to visit are: the Norman Tower, whose origins date from around the XIIIth
and the XIVth centuries. The imposing
cylindrical tower represents the logical consequence of the famous
fortifications which the Normans, invaders from Normandy
lead by Roberto il Guiscardo, constructed throughout Calabria. The Chiesa del
Rosario church dating from the XVth century,
formerly named San Domenico del Ritiro. The Monastery of San Giorgio presso
Barbaro (XIVth century). The Monastery of
S. Angiolo di Frigillo of the Florense order at Castellace, close to Zagarise
(XIIIth century). The Monastery Basiliano
dei Tre fanciulli and the Chiesa di S. Maria Assunta church.
