It is a town with about 5000 residents. They are divided into a central part of town with offices and a beach part of town on the Tyrrhenian Sea on the famous Costa Viola, named after the colors of the sea, which are, by the way, beautiful.
On the very tip of the boot is the Ruffo Castle.This was Count Ruffo's place of residence and is located high on a hill overlooking a beautiful view of the beach.
It also overlooks the Church of San Roque, patron of the city, the Chianalea: a small fishing village with its typical houses in the area. These beautiful houses are filled with potted flowers and hanging clothes in the sun . Its main street descends from the castle and leads towards the beach. It is a very pretty walk which you will certainly enjoy.
