Gerace, near Locri, is a beautiful medieval city, complete with Norman castle and Cathedral. Stilo also has its own Norman castle and a beautiful Byzantine church, the Cattolica. Gioia Tauro is a growing village by the sea with an interesting "old town" and ruins; nearby Palmi is considered the jewel of the Costa Viola for its trendy shopping and lovely sandy beaches. The province of Calabria is also mountainous, crossed lengthwise by a high Apennine ridge. Thick woodland regions give way to landscapes of wild beauty along the coasts of both the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas. The National Museum here holds the most important collection of archeological relics in Italy, while in Cosenza you can find the Museo Interdiocesano and the Civic Museum. Calabria is also the birthplace of several important philosophers, including Bernardino Telesio, Gioacchino da Fiore, and Tommaso Campanella.
