The Castle Theater is located within the wonderful Borgo Carafa and is nestled in a beautiful natural setting formed by the rocky slopes that overlook it. The structure has over three thousand seats and has been hosting the Roccella Jazz Festival “Mediterranean Sounds” for over 40 years, making Roccella Jonica one of the most coveted jazz capitals in the world for jazz lovers and numerous other national and international level events, as well as important festivals capable of inspiring entire generations.
The first edition of the “Mediterranean Sounds” Jazz Festival dates back to 1981, and along with Umbria Jazz, it is the most important Italian event in the sector. From the Castle Theater, you can reach both the Carafa Castle and the Mother Church through the hillside park pedestrian path, as well as the picturesque Sanctuary of Maria S.S. delle Grazie, adjacent to the Zirgone stream.
