The Archdiocese of Crotone-Santa Severina (Latin: Archidioecesis Crotonensis-Sanctae Severinae) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in southern Italy, created in 1986. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Catanzaro-Squillace. The historic Diocese of Cortone (also Cotrone, now Crotone) in Calabria had existed from the 6th century, and was in 1986 combined with the Diocese of Santa Severina.[1][2] It was a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Reggio. In 2013 there was one priest for every 1, 841 Catholics.

History

Cotrone (ancient Croton) it was unsuccessfully besieged by Totila, King of the Goths, and at a later date became a part of the Byzantine Empire. About 870 it was taken and sacked by the Saracens, who put to death the bishop and many people who had taken refuge in the cathedral. Later on it was conquered by Normans, and thenceforth shared the fate of the Kingdom of Naples. According to local legend the Gospel was preached there by Dionysius the Areopagite. Its first known bishop was Flavianus, during whose episcopate occurred the siege of the city by Totila.
