Bova

Overview

Dominated by the ruins of the Norman castle and perched on a hill, stands Bova, a village in eastern Aspromonte that stands out for its history and ancient culture: this town is in fact the capital of Greek culture in Calabria and is part of a linguistic island - which also includes Condofuri, Gallicianò, Roccaforte del Greco and Roghudi - where a dialect of Greek derivation is still spoken. Oriental traditions are also preserved here, especially in textile handicrafts: in Bova, expert craftsmen make beautiful, colourful blankets and carpets in an evident Oriental style. The architectural symbols of the town are the Castle and the Cathedral, also of Norman origin, although it was remodelled in later centuries.
