Cosenza hotels - About Cosenza
Cosenza is a city in Italy, located at the confluence of the rivers Busento and Crathis. The municipal population is of around 70,000. The urban area, however, has over 250,000 inhabitants. It is the capital of the homonymous province.
Because of its cultural past, Cosenza was known in antiquity as the Athens of Calabria. The Cosentian Academy, for example, was one of the very first academies to be founded in Europe (1511). To this day, the city remains an important cultural centre with museums, theatres, numerous libraries, and the University of Calabria.
"To call the town picturesque is to use an inadequate word. At every step, from the opening of the main street at the hill foot up to the stern medieval castle crowning its height, one marvels and admires". George Gissing, 1897
