Crotone is a town of legendary origins, full of history and culture dating back to the Magna Graecia. It is said that part of the Calabrian peninsula was founded by a group of Achei in order to obey the Oracle of Delphi. Crotone became the most powerful city of the Magna Graecia, winning the Olympics, and also becoming the most important medical centre of that time. Along the coast standing on a headland at the extreme western side of Calabria you can admire 48 columns as ruins and remains of one of the biggest, and most beautiful temples of the Magna Graecia dedicated to the Roman goddess Juno named Capo Colonna. The historical centre of Crotone is full of art and architecture of great value for example the Town Cathedral where the statue of Madonna of Capo Colonna is kept, and the State Archaeological Museum where archaeological findings, some of which prehistoric, are held as remnants of the city's glorious past. Crotone also has the honour of being the native town where one of the world's greatest mathematicians was born and lived for many years: Pitagora.
