About
In the mountains of southern Italy, a small Byzantine church lies lost.
Cattolica di Stilo is a small church built in the 9th century, when Calabria was still part of the Byzantine Empire. It’s one of the most unique examples of Byzantine architecture in southern Italy, given its location perched on the side of a mountain and some of the curiosities found inside. The interior walls were once covered in frescoes, painted between the 10th and 15th centuries, and today some of them can still be seen.
