View of the Scialandro Rock.
The Scialandro Rock is linked to several legends of the Gulf of Policastro. During the eighth century BC, a Greek ship bound for Cumae sank near Punta Infreschi. Only one man survived, clinging to the rock, which later took his name: Scialandro. The man, adopted by the local population, became the village leader and defended the village from a sack by another Greek ship. During the battle, Scialandro died, and a wooden statue was erected on the Scialandro Rock.
