Note: The town probably dates to Late Antiquity, when the settlement was known as Castrum Vetus. The name of Castelvetere was changed in 1862 because the citizens believed their town was the site of ancient city Caulonia. It has since been proven that ancient Caulonia was to be found 16 km away, near modern Monasterace. |
