Paola sits on the edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea, north of Lamezia Terme, and due west from Cosenza. It is a delightful, airy town, with a modern, seaside ambience along its lungomare, but in its older, higher quarters inland from the shore, it has an ancient, medieval atmosphere as well.

Paola is one of the Tyrrehnian Coast's busiest sea-side centres and easily accessible by car, boat or train.
Locating Paola is easy as it is well marked and well-serviced by railroads, highways and boat. Exploring the town itself may be somewhat difficult for first time visitors. Opt for leaving your car at the Sanctuary and walking down through the town to get acquainted.
The local people are proud of the fact that their city is the birthplace of San Francesco di Paola (1416-1507), founder of the Minims, the strictest order of the Franciscans. Indeed, Paola is a place that has developed and continues to retain a deeply religious aspect and those travelers who enjoy visiting churches and other religious buildings, have plenty to see in Paola.

The Santuario di San Francesco, dates from 1435 and is fronted by a long piazza with a modern statue and obelisk commemorating the Holy Year of 1950.
