Isola di Capo Rizzuto is a town and comune in the province of Crotone, Calabria, Italy. The population of the town is around 15,000. Despite having the name "Isola" (isle in Italian), it is not actually an island, rather an isthmus extending into the sea, which is completely attached to the peninsula.
The main historical attraction is the powerful 16th century fortification in the frazione of Le Castella. The town's territory is included in the Marine Protected Area Capo Rizzuto.
