Bova: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Bova is a historic town situated in the province of Reggio Calabria, in the southern Italian region of Calabria. Perched on a hill approximately 850 meters above sea level, it overlooks the Ionian Sea and is one of the most important centers of the Greek-speaking minority in Italy.

The town has preserved its Greek-Byzantine heritage through its architecture, traditions, and the Greco-Calabrian dialect, known as Greko, which is still spoken by some residents. Bova's cultural landscape is characterized by its medieval urban structure, featuring narrow streets, historic buildings, and the Norman Castle ruins. The town is recognized as one of the "Borghi più belli d'Italia" (Most Beautiful Villages in Italy) and serves as a testament to the historical Greek influence in Calabria. Its cultural heritage is preserved through local museums and cultural institutions that document the area's unique linguistic and ethnic history.
