The Norman castle of Scalea is located on the top of the medieval village and was built in the 11th century on a previous Longobard fortress. Today only the ruins of the perimeter walls and a tower remain, which offer a splendid view of the sea and the town.

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.

There is a picnic area here and a water source, which is located along the Poor Moscow route.

Here are the ruins of the Norman castle, an ancient castle that dates back to the 11th century as a fortress of the Norman military. Here the pact of Scalea was also signed, dividing the territories conquered by the two brothers Ruggero I of Sicily and Roberto D'Altavilla.

The Ficara waterfall is part of the Valle del Fiume Argentino nature reserve, and is fed by the water brought from the Ficara canal. In this area there are various animals, including roe deer, wild boars, foxes and hares.

Great view of this great old town!
