Of very ancient origins, Cetraro was probably the first seafront town of the
Bruzi; its name derives almost certainly from
the large quantity of citrus produced in the surrounding countryside, even
though there is also a second hypothesis in which
the term is linked back to the river Aron which crosses the territory of the
municipality, (Citra-Aron or Ci-tra Rivum).
Cetraro was given as a gift to the Abbot Desiderio IV Epifanio, on the part of
the Duchess Sikelgaita, second wife of
Roberto il Guiscardo di Montecassino, as a symbol of gratitude for the devotion
shown to her at Melfi. For approximately 726
years, from 1086 to 1810, Cetraro was property of the Benedictines of
Montecassino. Today, the municipality is divided into:
Cetraro Superiore and Borgo San Marco; entrance to the town is through three
main gates: di Mare, di Basso and di Sopra.
Things to see: the church of the Ritiro, the archpriest's church of San
Benedetto (Saint Benedict) and the Church of the
Cappuccini (Capuchins) which inside preserves local engravings; the "marinaia"
is interesting and characteristic, being a
casbah of little alleyways in the Benedictine historical centre; in the summer
months, it is possible to visit the Sanctuary of the Madonna.
A short distance from Cetraro town, the Marina di Cetraro (Borgo San Marco) has
developed, a seaside resort in the course of
being developed; from here, it is possible to reach the beautiful marine
grottoes, amongst which the grottoes di Rizzo as well as that of the Colonne (Columns).
