Tourist center, with a castle overlooking the sea.

In Roseto roses were cultivated , whose petals were used to fill mattresses on which the Sybarites slept.

It is currently the main tourist resort on the Ionian Cosenza area . The stony-gravelly beach has mainly free access.

In Roseto Capo Spulico, the emerald clear sea  offers amazing underwater scenery.Now it is considered the pearl of Calabria and it  obtained ministerial appreciation as the most beautiful sea of Italy.

An ‘Anvil’ Rock is located along the beach below a castle, which is perched on the small promontory at the end of the seafront of the Achaeans. It is popularly called the fungus Castle (you can see the shape of a mushroom) and it is the holographic symbol of  Roseto and Upper Ionian Cosenza Province as it is present in many prints  and postcards.

The typical cuisine of local seafood is savory. Among the products,the best known is the “spicy” chili.
