In the heart of the historic center of Cosenza, among stone alleys, ancient churches and breathtaking views, La Casetta 2.0 offers a comfortable and modern refuge. A few steps from the Cathedral, the Svevo Castle, the Rendano Theater, Corso Mazzini and the main places of interest, the apartment is ideal for those looking for tranquility, charm and practicality. Equipped with kitchen, air conditioning and everything you need to feel at home, even in the heart of history. Ideal for couples, students and workers. (The apartment is located in the alley of Postierla 6 next to "piazza civil victims of war").
Between the Via della Neve and the long Crati Miceli, the alley that is still called "pustìerula" recalls a small secondary door between the city walls.
There are places of old Cosenza that, apparently anonymous, are instead the silent witnesses of important historical events now distant. The intertwining of alleys that makes up the historic center was enclosed in a city wall, to protect the city since the most remote times. The Consentia perched on the Pancrazio needed an articulated defensive system, which could repel the attacks of the numerous invaders.
The various traces of masonry in opus reticulatum found in several points are traced back by scholars precisely to a wall already present in the Roman age. At the bottom the city was bordered by walls that roughly followed the Crati river, as evidenced by the portions of Roman walls that emerged at the back of the building of the current House of Culture, and still by another portion visible along the ancient snow road, near the archaeological area of Piazzetta Toscano.
And right on via Campagna, between the buildings under the Tuscan square, a narrow alley opens up that leads past the dense series of buildings towards the current Crati Miceli Long.
It is the alley called in dialect "a pustìerula", a term that would sound strange, if it were not for the name of one of the ancient entrances to the city. "Pustìerula" is in fact for postierla, or posterla, a term that derives from the late Latin "posterula", diminutive of "posterus", therefore little door behind, small hidden door.
The conformation of the place seems to confirm it. The Cosenza post was therefore a small secondary door that opened between the city walls towards the Crati. A hidden door, and even today the alley is barely identifiable, looking from Crati at the buildings along the left bank of the river. Currently the post consists of a support area that connects the Lungo Crati area with Via Campagna.
