Papasidero,
is a village and comune in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region, southern Italy. It is part of Pollino National Park.
Humans have occupied the area since prehistoric times, as confirmed by an important archaeological site, LaGrotta Romito, discovered in 1961. The historical centre has a typically medieval urban style. It was built over the 12th and 13th centuries. From Lombard beginnings, it became a fortress castle in the Sveva Norman period (1190–1250) and was expanded under the Angevins in the 14th century, and under Aragon (from 1400 to 1500).
