Altomonte

Calabria

Altomonte's pink-stone church of Santa Maria della Consolazione is a rare piece of French Gothic in the south, and the small town around it keeps a castle tower and terraces looking across the Coscile plain to the Pollino. It is a slow-food centre known for its clementines and figs.
