Among the most beautiful places in all of Calabria, Scilla stands on a scenic promontory not far from the Strait of Messina. It is famous for the church of San Rocco, the Ruffo Castle and above all for its seaside hamlet, Chianalea, a splendid fishing village.

Scilla (formerly U Scigghiu in the dialect of Reggio Calabria) is an Italian municipality with 4,501 inhabitants in the metropolis of Reggio Calabria in Calabria. It is a popular tourist resort on a promontory at the northern entrance to the Strait of Messina. Source and further information: https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scilla_(Italia)

The promontory of Scilla was fortified by the tyrant Anassilla as early as 493 BC. In 842 AD, under Byzantine rule, the Basilian Fathers founded and fortified the monastery of San Pancrazio. In 1282, after the War of the Vespers, Pope Martin IV authorized Charles of Anjou to fortify the castles on this coast. At the end of 1284, the fortress of Scilla fell into the hands of the Aragonese. In 1533, Scilla was bought by Paolo Ruffo, Count of Sinopoli.

The current church building dates from the 1970s, but the church was only completed in the late 1990s, see https://www.calabriaportal.com/scilla/5020-scilla.html#fontana-sirena The church is open during the day and has a beautiful modern mosaic.

Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II is the real name of the square, but all the inhabitants of Reggio know it better as Piazza Italia, because in the center there stands a monument to Italy that has shaped its popular name for 140 years. It is the most important square in Reggio Calabria, the political-administrative heart of the Reggio region. It has a square plan, with the south-eastern side opening onto Corso Garibaldi and overlooked by the most important institutional buildings. In ancient times it was also known as Tocco piccolo. Almost all the buildings that stand in the square house an administration and/or an institution of the city. On the orthogonal lines there are in particular: Palazzo San Giorgio, seat of the Town Hall, Palazzo del Governo, seat of the Prefecture, Palazzo Corrado Alvaro, seat of the Metropolitan City, the Teatro Francesco Cilea and the Palazzo del Banco di Napoli.

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.
