Districts

Roghudi Vecchio in the Aspromonte National Park

The municipality Roghudi consists of the fractions Roghudi Vecchio, Chorio di Roghudi and Roghudi Nuovo. The town center (Roghudi Vecchio) lies on the slope of a mountain spur above the Fiumara Amendolea. The village has been badly affected in the past by landslides in connection with the flooding of the Fiumara, which often occurs when snowmelt and storms occur. It has since been abandoned by its residents, but - unlike Africo Vecchio  , for example - has not been officially abandoned. Some essential infrastructure facilities such as power supply and a signposted road access from the neighboring communities Roccaforte del Greco and Bova are still available in Roghudi Vecchio. Apart from the adjacent, partially inhabited Chorio di Roghudi, the majority of the residents of the Roghudi community now live in Roghudi Nuovo. This faction was established from 1973 as a newly founded place. It is 39 kilometers (length of the road link) from Roghudi Vecchio and administratively forms an enclave in the urban area of Melito di Porto Salvo . All administrative facilities of the Roghudi municipality are located in Roghudi Nuovo, while Roghudi Vecchio has fallen into disrepair and has taken on the character of a ghost town .
