    Santa Domenica Talao is a small village, located at 304 meters above sea level, on the southern slopes of Monte Serra La Limpida. It was founded in the first half of the 1600s at the behest of Ettore Maria Spinelli, prince of Scalea and, for many years, while enjoying a certain autonomy, it remained included in the fief of Scalea. It became an independent municipality in 1861 and added the name of Talao only in 1863. In the beautiful old town there are numerous testimonies of the architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: the Palazzo Campagna of the '700, the Palazzo Senise / Perrone of the' 600, the Palazzo Schiffino and several stone portals. But the real jewel of Santa Domenica Talao is the Mother Church of San Giuseppe, a religious building of high architectural value built in the second half of the 1600s. The beating heart of the town is certainly Piazza Italia, a small panoramic square on which stands the bell tower and the facade of the Mother Church with the ancient olive tree symbol of the town. To appreciate the extensive and wonderful panorama that can be enjoyed from the historic center over the entire coastal strip from Scalea to Cirella, with the Lao river valley and the Tyrrhenian Sea in the background. Its territory partly falls within the Pollino National Park area, serving as the gateway to the Park. From a gastronomic point of view, Santa Domenica Talao boasts the presence of Black Truffles in its territory, and is very renowned for its wild boar meat.
