Civita, Calabria, Italy
Civita is hilltown town in Calabria in the heart of the Pollino National park, in Southern Italy's Calabria.
In Civita, Calabria, the history centers on an Albanian community fleeing from the Turks. While a precise arrival date is not known, the first Albanian explorers most likely came to the area in the 1470s. The “new” arrivals brought their language and culture with them, settling throughout the Pollino Mountains.
In keeping with Civita’s history, the local religion and village architecture reflect Arbëreshe culture. Just off the main piazza stands the Italian-Albanian Mother Church dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. Its parishioners follow the Byzantine rite as part of the Eparchy of Lungro, an Italo-Albanian diocese in Calabria, subject to the Holy See. The Baroque structure features many elements of the Byzantine church, such as the beautiful iconostasis in walnut and olivewood, numerous icons and frescos.
Civita maintains its original layout, with neighborhoods of old two-story stone houses with large fireplaces situated along narrow lanes. Interestingly, the facades of several homes resemble faces, with a long chimney for the nose and windows for eyes.
The chimney stacks are another characteristic of the village, each unique design giving that personal touch to the habitation.
This village of fewer than 1,000 also boasts the dramatic natural setting of northern Calabria’s Pollino Mountains, part of Italy’s largest national park. One of Civita’s highlights is the Gole del Raganello, a deep canyon carved by the Raganello River, which flows to the Ionian Sea. From Civita’s enviable position of 450 meters (1,480 feet), views of the expansive river valley extend all the way to the sea!
From the oldtown, you can hike down the side of the canyon or take a jeep to the Ponte del Diavolo. This Devil’s Bridge has the familiar tale of having been constructed by the devil in exchange for the life of the first soul who crosses it. Being cleverer than the diavolo himself, the local landowner who made the pact with the devil tricked him by sending a sheep, instead of a person, over the new structure.

Does anyone know if there actually are any B&B in Civita? I tried looking for it but nothing came up, I’m a total loser when it comes to looking for things though so I wanted to ask haha
Hi honey. Civita di Bagnoregio is TINY. Like, literally about a dozen people live there. And a lot of cats. But yes, there seem to be a few places to stay up there. Here's one. Here's another. And there are plenty of places in the town at the foot of the bridge as well.

Hey, do you no the name of the Castello where the pap walk 🐙 was done last year ?
Traveling to Italy and would love to see the place
Hi dear,
It's not a castle, it's a tiny village. It's called Civita di Bagnoregio! There's a lake close by the area too, if you're traveling that would be a cool activity!

2023 Revisited | Leighton DaCosta, San Diego Photographer
HAPPY 123123 DAY!
2023 was an amazing year in San Diego. There were way more ups than downs and I am blessed to see another year! Thank you to all the clients and friends, and clients who became friends, and friends who became clients.
We had a blast in Jamaica during Carnival, LA Fashion Week work with BVFW was phenomenal, we went chasing waterfalls and bars in the middle of the ocean to capture some travel portraiture.
The portraits this year were widely varied, from influencer headshots, acting headshots, costume photography for international beauty queens, and beauty shots for music artists, along with some commercial work as well.
Let’s not forget the weddings in Vegas or the trips to the desert!
Cheers to the completion of 2023 and a new start in 2024. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AS ALWAYS!
LD
And here’s some quick shots from BVFW LA…

Due ragazze a zonzo su una macchina rossa (3): le città dei gatti
Il bello di andare a zonzo tra gattare è che se una si ferma a cottolare un gatto per strada l’altra non si scombussola o si scazza. E in giro per la Tuscia (chiamiamo gennericamente così tutta la zona che sta a cavallo di tre regioni -Lazio Umbria e Toscana- e no, non voglio ingaggiare una disputa geografica quando i tre quarti delle persone che conosco hanno difficoltà con i punti cardinali, e…

Look! Where it comes like an eternity, as if to sweep down all things in its track, charming the eye with dread, a matchless cataract horribly beautiful! (Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, IV canto) Civita di Bagnoregio, 02.06.22 🌻 (La citazione si riferisce alle Cascate delle Marmore, ma mi pareva adatta) #travel #italy #bagnoregio #civita #lazio #beautiful #stunning (presso Civita di Bagnoregio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeeDFFptJxs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m italian, and i went to civita seven years ago when nobody knows who/where civita is. So around 3 years ago civita was famous cause instagram/facebook. Harry is not the cause about civita is famous now. And is a very very small city who live 7 people and a lot of cats, but maybe one day this city will collapse
Well, I’m glad to hear he’s not the cause of it. Although I’m sure it’s not helping.
But your description is hilarious. 7 people — including Alessandro Michele and Harry Styles — and lots of cats. 🤣🤣🤣
