a city of Naples, the seat of an archbishopric, and the capital of the province of Calabria Citra, is situated in a deep glen at the junction of the Busento with the Crati, 12 miles E. of the Mediterranean. It is intersected by the Busento, which is here crossed by two bridges. The streets are generally narrow and crooked, and the lower part of the town is said to be unhealthy. The tribunale, or palace of justice, one of the finest edifices in that kingdom, is on the eastern bank; and an old castle, now used as a barracks, crowns the summit of an eminence on the opposite side of the river. It has also a diocesan seminary, royal college, theatre, foundling hospital, academies of science and literature; manufactures of earthenware and cuttery; and a considerable trade in silk, rice, wine, fruits, mamma, flax, &c. Pop. 9000. It is a place of great antiquity, having, under the name of Consentia, been the chief city of the Bruttii. Alaric, king of the Goths, died while besieging this city A.D. 410, and was buried in the bed of the Busento, which was turned from its course for that purpose.
