Arena Village

Arena is one of the oldest historic villages of the Vibonese hinterland, located in the heart of the Calabrian Serre in a green and silent landscape. The village retains a compact urban layout, typical of medieval origins, developed around narrow lanes, contained squares and stone buildings. Arena has historically played an important role as an administrative and religious centre of the Serre area. The presence of churches and historic buildings testifies to the value the village held over the centuries. Walking through Arena means experiencing an authentic and little-touristed Calabria, where the pace is slow and the connection with the territory is still evident. Arena is an ideal stop for those who wish to leave the coast and discover a different Calabria, made of historic villages, natural landscapes and strongly rooted local identities.
