Forza d'Agrò

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
