View of the Chianalea and Castle of Scilla, Calabria, Italy
Scilla is a town and comune in Calabria, Italy, administratively part of the Province of Reggio Calabria. It is the traditional site of the sea monster Scylla of Greek mythology. The town, 22 kilometres (14 mi) from the city of Reggio, lies in front of the strait of Messina, and it is composed of two parts: the downtown, where the town offices and the residence of the patronal saint are situated, and Marina di Scilla, the beach-front, populated by tourists and thus heavily characterized by hotels and restaurants. Since its beach is the first place north of Reggio Calabria where the waters are not cooled down by the strait draughts. The Ruffo Castle, a fortress built by the Dukes of Calabria overlooks the beach. On a seaward-facing terrace is Scilla Lighthouse, an important aid to ships entering the Strait of Messina from the north

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of Chianalea and the Castle of Scilla in Calabria, Italy. The town of Scilla, known for its connection to Greek mythology's sea monster Scylla, is located just 22 kilometers away from Reggio Calabria. Situated in front of the strait of Messina, Scilla is divided into two parts: downtown and Marina di Scilla. While downtown houses important administrative buildings and the residence of the patron saint, Marina di Scilla attracts tourists with its beautiful beach-front lined with hotels and restaurants. The Ruffo Castle stands proudly on a hilltop overlooking this picturesque beach. This fortress was constructed by the Dukes of Calabria and adds a touch of historical charm to the landscape. On a terrace facing towards the sea sits Scilla Lighthouse, an essential guiding light for ships entering the Strait of Messina from northern directions. The photo showcases not only these architectural marvels but also highlights their surroundings. The stone structures blend harmoniously with nature as clouds float peacefully above them against a cloudy sky backdrop. Artie Photography has skillfully captured this famous landmark in all its glory through his lens. This stunning image transports viewers to this enchanting coastal town where history meets natural beauty seamlessly.
