    Scalea is a medieval village located on a terraced hill a few minutes from the sea. Its historic center is a labyrinth of stairways, alleys, arches and ancient buildings, where it is possible to visit the Norman Castle, the Basilian churches with Byzantine frescoes, the Palazzo dei Principi Spinelli and the Talao Tower, symbol of the city.

      Medieval village in the province of Cosenza. The old town is located on a hill close to the plain, just three minutes from the sea. Very suggestive place that can only be visited on foot, a pedestrian area full of stairs and alleys. Historic palaces and houses with Byzantine frescoes make this place unique. Beautiful panorama and two attractions of sure interest: the church above and the Norman castle (ruins). In addition, there are many portals to photograph and observe along its alleys. One cannot leave Scalea without having smelled the scent of the Middle Ages in its "vanelles".
