Panorama of Strongoli, around 1730

The Diocese of Strongoli was a Roman Catholic diocese in Italy with the bishopric in Strongoli . It was a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Santa Severina .

history

The diocese of Strongoli goes back to the 3rd century bishopric of Petelia . In 546, the Petelia diocese was renamed the Strongoli diocese. Its territory only included the urban area of ​​Strongoli. Historically, Madius is the first bishop, who was mentioned as a witness in 1178 in a forged document from Archbishop Nikolaus von Messina . What is certain is the participation of a bishop of Strongoli at the Third Lateran Council of 1179, whose name has not been passed down with certainty, possibly an Ireneus.

On June 27, 1818, the diocese was abolished by the Bull De utiliori of Pope Pius VII and its territory was annexed to the Diocese of Cariati .

Strongoli has been conferred as a titular bishopric since 1969 .
