Forza d'Agrò
Forza D’Agrò
Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia
Forza d'Agrò stood in for Corleone in The Godfather, and its mother church is easy to spot in all three films. The village clings to a mountain at 420 metres above the Ionian coast, with the remains of a Norman castle on the peak above. Its narrow lanes lead to small squares, viewpoints and the steps through the Porta Durazzesca to the 15th-century church of the Trinity.
Highlights
- Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata, rebuilt in 1707 and seen in The Godfather
- Santissima Trinità, reached by steps through the Porta Durazzesca arch
- Ruins of the Norman castle on the peak above the village
