Sibari Green Village is in the heart of Magna Graecia, very close to the archaeological site of Sibari. A few km away is the National Archaeological Parc and Museum of Sibaritide, the Castle of Corigliano and the Caves of Sant’Angelo in Cassano allo Jonio. 60 km away is the National Park of Pollino, the largest natural park in Italy.
Located on the Strada Statale 106 Ionica, the Parco Archeologico di Sibari is the site of one of the richest and most important cities of the Magna Graecia. Still continuing to this day, excavation works have brought to light various areas of the city built by Hippodamus of Miletos using the famous orthogonal plan. Little is known, however, of the structure of the previous city, whose destruction prevented it from influencing the subsequent layout. Findings from the excavations are housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale della Sibaritide (Sibaritide National Archaeological Museum). The Museo Archeologico Nazionale della Sibaritide is located to the east of the archaeological site, towards the shores of the Ionian Sea. The museum houses findings dating from the Magna Graecia’s protohistoric era to the Roman civilisation and relating to the cities of Sybaris, Thurii and Copia, as well as to the various other settlements in the area.
