Torre Talao

Torre Talao is a coastal tower dating back to the 16th century; it is located in the municipality of Scalea and is an example of Aragonese military architecture in southern Italy. The tower was built in 1563 by Pedro Afán de Ribera d'Alcalà, viceroy of the kingdom of Naples. The Talao Tower today is the symbol of Scalea. History: Originally the Torre Talao rock was an island. Then following a landfill phenomenon it became a peninsula and today it is completely dry. The caves of the Torre Talao rock were inhabited by prehistoric men. Talao Tower was built in the 16th century. It was part of the coastal defensive system, against the incursions of the Turks, wanted by Charles V.[1] The coastal defense system included 337 towers within sight of each other. Torre Talao was built at the expense of the locals. Every citizen had to contribute to the construction of the Tower either with a sum of money or with free service according to their abilities. Towards the end of the 17th century, Torre Talao was deprived of its cannons, previously placed for the defense of the coast. At the beginning of the 20th century the owner of the time, Del Giudice, bottled the sulphurous water from the spring at the base of the Torre Talao rock and put it on the market with considerable success. Around 1909-1910 Amedeo Rocco Armentano rented the Talao Tower (which he purchased a few years later) to make it the meeting place of a Pythagorean school (the Schola italica) which took inspiration from the ancient one.
