Scalea is a town and comune in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy.
The old city sits within a preserved set of ancient walls on the heights. The interior of the old city is an intricate maze of stairs, alleys, wide streets and plazas, support beams, and arches. One of the defining characteristics of the historic center is "suppuorti": wooden floors built above the alleyways, born out of the need for defensibility and for growth in dense limited space.
