What is "gerace"

Gerace (; ) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, Calabria, southern Italy. Gerace is located some inland from Locri, yet the latter town and the sea can be seen from Gerace's perch atop a vertical rock. The town stands on a hill formed of conglomerates of sea fossils from 60 millions years ago.

The Gerace is an Italian river in whose source is near the source of the Petrace river in the Aspromonte National Park. From there, the river flows southeast past Gerace and into the Ionian Sea near Locri.
