Here is a memorial to the sea monster Scylla.
A song like you've never heard it before, infinitely beautiful! And suddenly everything happens very quickly: tentacles from the depths! They drag the sailors into their wet grave. This horror story of the sea monster Scylla is 3000 years old and was told and written by the Greek poet Homer. In fact, the monster gave its name to the town of Scilla in Calabria, because it is said to have ambushed seafarers here on the Strait of Messina.

A beautiful square with spectacular views, right here where the monument to the sea monster Scylla can be seen. Very nice up here and a meeting place for locals and tourists.

On the so-called "Strait of Messina", which separates the Italian mainland from the island of Sicily, we encounter Greek mythology: According to the poet HOMER - whose life dates are not known (generally assumed to be the eighth and seventh centuries BC), but who is Author of the famous works ILIAS and ODYSSEY - a female monster called SCYLLA lived in this strait, which repeatedly claimed victims among sailors.
