Jacurso, the medieval village of the ice cream

Jacurso, in the Isthmus of Catanzaro, lies between Mount Contessa and the Ionian Sea. From the top of the mountain, you can admire enchanting views over the Gulf of Santa Eufemia and the Gulf of Squillace.

The historic centre of the village, known as the Cittadella, still preserves its dense medieval layout, with small treasures of art and history hidden among its religious buildings.

Here, the palate finds satisfaction too: Jacurso stands out for its production of ice cream, naturally made with local ingredients, including citrus fruits, hazelnuts and pistachios… truly irresistible!
