In Porto Empedocle off Southern Sicily. The Scala is formed by marl, a sedimentary rock with a characteristic white color. It lies between two sandy beaches, and is accessed through a limestone rock formation in the shape of a staircase,hence the name. The latter part of the name derives from the frequent raids carried on by Turkish and Barbary Coast pirates. The black dot on the Stairs is my friend.
