Lamezia Terme Voyage Tips and guide

Lamezia Terme is a city and comune in Calabria.

The 4th largest city in Calabria, Lamezia Terme has a history that can be traced back all the way back to ancient times. Lamezia Terme was created in 1968 by merging the former cities Nicastro, Sambiase, and Sant'Eufemia Lamezia into a single city. Despite being merged, each former city is treated as its own distinct area within the city. There are also multiple rural villages on the outskirts.
