Scalea’s symbol now stands on the mainland, although it began as a coastal watchtower on a small island.
Torre Talao was built in the 16th century as part of southern Italy’s coastal defences. Sediment gradually joined the former islet to the mainland, so the landmark can now be reached directly from town.
The official page lists access with staff present and public hours of 9:00–18:00, but these details may change. Combine the visit with a walk through the historic centre and confirm current opening arrangements with the Comune di Scalea before setting out.
