Acri, a town between the Sila and inland Calabria

Acri lies in inland Calabria, in the province of Cosenza, at the edge of the Sila plateau. It is one of the most populous towns in the Cosenza area, overlooking the Mucone valley and surrounded by woods, streams and mountain landscapes that keep summer evenings fresh and pleasant even in the heart of August. The old town preserves a layered historic centre, with alleys, churches and palaces that tell of centuries of local history. The Municipal Amphitheatre, the setting for the Estate Acrese shows, is an open-air venue able to welcome a large audience, ideal for enjoying concerts on summer nights. Its position between the Sila and the plain makes Acri a convenient base for combining live music with excursions into the Calabrian hinterland.
