Capo Vaticano
A bit of history
Capo Vaticano, located in the beautiful region of Calabria in southern Italy, is one of the gems of the Mediterranean, renowned for its crystal-clear waters, fine sandy beaches, and breathtaking landscapes that offer unforgettable views of the sea.
This enchanting place, located just a few kilometers from our camping village in Ricadi, is a must-visit destination for anyone deciding to spend their holiday in this area rich in natural beauty and history.
The history of Capo Vaticano is deeply connected to that of Calabria, a land of ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Normans, and Aragons, who have left traces of their presence in this culture-rich land.
According to legend, Capo Vaticano was a sacred place where the ancient Greeks performed rituals in honor of the god Saturn. The name ‘Vaticano’ presumably comes from a Latin word meaning ‘place of divination,’ suggesting that the area was once home to oracles and divinatory practices.
