Le Castella from Calabria-Italy
Castella was the subject of many legends and even, according to some scholars, the Calypso Island described by Homer in his Odyssey, would be placed right next to the village. It is part of the mythological three promontories Japigi, identified in Capo Rizzuto, Capo Cimiti and Le Castella, so named by the presence of the legendary Japyx, son of Daedalus, one of the most talented artists of ancient Greece.
