Belvedere Marittimo, in the province of Cosenza, overlooks the Tyrrhenian coast of the Riviera dei Cedri Regional Marine Park. Famous for the Castle of Belvedere Marittimo, its sea and well-equipped beach resorts, and for the venerated relics of Saint Valentine, the patron saint of lovers, not everyone knows that the medieval village of Belvedere Marittimo is also known as the "City of Love" (or of Lovers). This name is due to the presence, in the Capuchin Convent, of a vial that for over 300 years has preserved the blood and bone fragments of Saint Valentine. What is there to see and do in Belvedere Marittimo? Sea, beaches and fully equipped beach resorts await you in the summer for an unforgettable holiday. In addition to the beach resorts of Belvedere Marittimo, which offer all kinds of seaside services for families with children, couples in love and more adventurous swimmers can venture along the northern coast to discover marine terraces and yellow sands, set against a striking alternation of clay badlands. The most romantic event of the summer? The historic "Note di Fuoco – Fireworks Art Festival", a three-day event dedicated to fireworks displays over the sea. Among the must-see buildings in the historic centre are the monumental Castle of Belvedere Marittimo, a Norman stronghold in a panoramic position, and the two watchtowers: Paolo Emilio Tower and Santa Litterata Tower.
