Sanctuary of Saint Francis of Paola

Very beautiful and peaceful. Has some tough stairs and low openings. And apparently does not allow drones

Beautifully maintained with tons of history. If you're into that kinda thing or appreciate holy/religious areas this is definitely a worthwhile visit. Great view of the sea as well. The beach is not to far away if you need to convince others it's a good idea! :P

It's very impressive there

Great place with several churches dedicated to St. Francesco di Paola. Contemporary church is very unusual.

Santuario di San Francesco di Paola is a glorious shrine to the revered saint of Calabria located over a gorge in the hills above Paola with magnificent views over the Tyrrhenian Sea.the church itself is quite simple inside but with a stunning gothic facade and a beautiful terrace and ample parking. Adjacent to the old church is a spectacular new chapel where a lot of services are held . They also allow you to view their fabulous hand carved presepi, the nativity scenes with unbelievably carved figures in glorious colours which are displayed to the public at Christmas and Easter.

A very peaceful and spiritual place with a medieval church and a modern sanctuary. Free to visit (they accept donations but not required). The life of St Francis of Paola is laid out in ample detail and one can see multiple aspects of his life.

For pilgrims (or anyone visiting) there are bathrooms, a picnic area and an indoor lunch room (bring your own lunch)

One of the most serene and peaceful places I have ever visited.

Very intresting place to visit with such history not to be missed and inside the new church is stuning

Beautiful and peaceful place to visit , not crowded at all. Magic experience love it!

Beautiful place. So spiritual and serene. Very interesting artifacts .

Always a must see when visiting Family in Cosenza. Many miracles to share and to retell the stories with my kids, the same way they were told by my parents.

Lovely place. Very spiritual and interesting artefacts

I recommend... Every Christian should visit the Sanctuary of San Francesco de Paola.

Wish I could give this 6 stars. Very blessed place😛

Peaceful and very “zen” place. Definitely worth while stopping by for a few hours if you’re around.

One of the most beautiful church

Highly recommended for those visiting Paola, Italy!
Definitely a high-light place.

Lovely popular devotion place with a great sea view and so crowded.
