In Ascea you will have to differentiate between Marina and the main town, which is called Paesse. Paesse, which is on 234 meters, has an historical town centre and a piazza that is the center of the social life of the town. Ascea Paesse is framed harmonically by numerous hills with olive groves and you will have a wonderful view over the gulf of Velia and all the way up to Capo Palinuro. Two different roads lead down the way from Paese to the Marina. The Marina is situated at the coast on the southern end of the gulf of Velia. On the end of this part of town is the Scogliera, which is one into the ocean protruding rock formation below the remains of the Saracen tower originating in the 12 century. Here you will find the Fondazione Alario, close by the train station. The Fondazione Alario is a foundation for the advancement of cultural exchange and the care and spread of the heritage of the classical antique philosophy and architecture.
