About this listen

The vocal beauty of this church has been heard through the centuries and also through the descriptions of the many travelers who visited these places, which represented one of the stages of the Grand Tour (an integral part of the aristocratic education in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries).

Borgia, like Scolacium, was under Byzantine rule, in the tenth, eleventh and fifteenth centuries. This territory was always populated and was chosen by anyone who wanted to dominate Calabria. Roberto the Guiscardo, Norman king of Puglia, Calabria and Sicily, lived here temporarily, from 1059 to 1085.©2017 Associazione ACEB (P)2017 Associazione ACEB
