Calabria, Gerace Most Beautiful Hilltop City Drive, Italy HDWide

MiMMO loves visiting ancient hilltop towns. Join him in Gerace, Reggio Calabria, one of the most beautiful villages of Italy (I Borghi più belli d'Italia).

The name of the city derives from the Greek hierax "sparrowhawk". According to a legend, the inhabitants of the coast, fleeing from a Saracen attack in 915 AD, were led by a sparrowhawk to the mountains.

A must see on any visit into southern Italy with spectacular views and ancient hilltop charm. The town stands on a hill formed of conglomerates of sea fossils from 60 million years ago.
