A place where ancient myths and natural elements unite to inspire imagination and ecological awareness

A cultural gateway where myth, nature and innovation shape a new way of exploring Reggio Calabria

Ecolandia Technological Environmental Park in Reggio Calabria is more than a leisure destination. Instead, it stands as a living narrative that blends the deep roots of Magna Graecia with forward looking ecological innovation. Set on a panoramic hill that overlooks the shimmering Strait of Messina, the park covers 100000 square meters. As a result, visitors enter an immersive world where past and future coexist. Its four thematic areas Air Fire Water and Earth draw inspiration from the natural elements and ancient Greek mythology. Consequently, each zone creates a symbolic path that reflects the cultural identity of the region.

At the heart of Ecolandia lies the nineteenth century Forte Gulli. This former military battery features a quadrangular design that follows the architectural principles of late nineteenth century coastal defenses in Calabria and Sicily. During the restoration works carried out between 1998 and 2001, the fortress gained new life. Today it serves as a cultural anchor within the park and stands as a testament to Reggio Calabrias strategic history. Moreover, it expresses the resilient spirit of the local communities. Although the site remained unused for many years, it was revitalised in 2011 thanks to a consortium of local enterprises. Since then, it has transformed into a place dedicated to learning entertainment and environmental education.

Ecolandia now functions as an open air laboratory where visitors of all ages can explore and interact. Here they experience technological demonstrations, creative installations and outdoor activities designed to spark ecological awareness. Additionally, its dynamic playgrounds amphitheater cultural zones and wide green areas invite guests to discover the park at their own pace. Through these elements, the essence of a technological environmental park Reggio Calabria becomes clear. Ultimately, Ecolandia offers a unique journey where science culture and landscape come together in a harmonious and inspiring environment.
