Isola di Capo Rizzuto

Isola di Capo Rizzuto (Italian pronunciation: [ˈizola diˈkapo riʦˈʦuto]) is a comune (municipality) in the province of Crotone, Calabria, Italy.

Geographically the seaside district of the town of Capo Rizzuto is a peninsula.

Elsewhere the main historical attraction, the powerful 16th-century fortification in the district of Le Castella, stands on a piece of land connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway.

In 1977 the archaeologist Domenico Marino discovered and excavated a site on the Capo Piccolo promontory with important Early Bronze Age II and Middle Bronze Age I-II artifacts of Minoan origin, demonstrating early trade contact between the eastern Mediterranean and Italy.

The town forms part of the Marine Protected Area Capo Rizzuto.
