Scilla, some writers think have been founded from Ulisse sailing these seas returning from the Troia war. The tyrant Anassilao fortified it, in order to defend it from the raids of the etruschi pirates. To the time of the Roman, Spartaco named ‘the rebel’ garrisoned it, but Marco Crasso besieged, constructing around the fortified village a large wall and a deep ditch. The history of this village has been tormented by the repeated incursions; it has been contested along various centuries until 1806, becoming town council in 1811. The legend narrated by Omero wanted it inhabited from the mythical monster with six heads and twelve feet, that it was hidden in the cliff under the castle, scattering the terror between the sailors. The fishing of sword fish is one of the more important activities practiced from ancient age; Chianalea is the quarter of the fishermen with a unusual fascination thanks of the houses upon the sea. The castle is the protagonist of the landscape, that dominates the center. It belonged to the Ruffo, it built up in ancient age and endured numerous readaptation.
