Bastion of the Knights of Malta

This majestic watchtower was built in 1550 to serve the Knights of Malta and is considered to be the symbol of Lamezia Terme. There are several tower ruins in the area but this is one of the most impressive and well-preserved.

Do & See

Lamezia Terme is known for its rich historical and architectural heritage, with majestic churches and cathedrals; but also ruins and archaeological sites that are definitely a must-see. Moreover, the nature in and around this city could be considered an attraction of its own, especially in the various nature parks as well as along the seaside. The central position of Lamezia Terme makes it extremely easy for visitors to enjoy other small and cosy cities and attractions situated just a bit outside, having in this way the possibility to experience different areas of the south of Italy.
