Archdiocese of Catanzaro-Squillace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Italian Catholic archdiocese of Catanzaro-Squillace, in Calabria, has existed in its current form since 1986. In that year the archdiocese of Catanzaro became a metropolitan see, and was combined with the diocese of Squillace.[1]

[edit] History

In 1122, Pope Callistus II transferred to Catanzaro the see of Taverna, and this is taken as the date of foundation of the diocese.[2]
