Il Borgo Fantasma del Comune di Campana (CS) - Sila Greca - Calabria

The Ghost Town of Campana (CS), in the Sila Greca, is one of the most evocative and historic places in Calabria. In this video, I walk the so-called panoramic trail and slowly advance along the former perimeter of ancient Kalasarna. Seeing this place covered in snow from the last cold snap is something else entirely. Its origins are ancient, dating back to the Bronze Age, but according to legend, its importance grew after the arrival of Philoctetes, the Greek hero who fled to Italy after the Trojan War. The ruins of the "land of the Campana" speak of a great historical past, but above all, ancient. Believe me, a walk in these parts is worth it, even just for the breathtaking view of the canyon and its valleys, which plunge down into sheer drops and fearful ravines.
