1) The must see sanctuaries in Calabria: ST. FRANCIS OF PAOLA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our journey starts from the sanctuary dedicated to St. Francis of Paola<\/a><\/strong>, one of the most important sanctuaries in Calabria. This small basilica, raised up to sanctuary in 1921, originated in 1435 with the first chapel built by San Francisco, founder of the Order of the Minimums, patron of Calabria and the men of the sea. Located in the Isca gorge<\/strong>, the complex of buildings was built on the ruins of the chapel built by Saint Francis and dedicated to the Saint of Assisi. The interior has two naves of different lengths, separated by four pointed arches and an arch.<\/p>\n
