Scanzano Jonico.
The town was originally controlled by the Basil
monks of St. Elia of Carbone and subsequently dominated
by Pedro de Toledo, who had the baronial palace,
commonly called Palazzaccio, built.
Near the beach there is a tower of sighting, built
in the Aragonese time, whereas another tower cylindrical
in shape can be admired in Terzo Madonna.
In Termitito, there are ruins of an important settlement
of the Mycenaean Age, subsequently occupied by Greek
colonists. The church of the Assunta, which contains
the silver crown of a statue of the Virgin Mary
dating from 1715 and some wooden sculptures dating
from the XVIII century, is worth visiting.
The farm of Recoleta is also interesting. Scanzano
is a developing seaside resort with very well-kept
beaches, which attract a lot of tourists every year.
