The old town deserves the utmost attention to be visited and discover its legends, old buildings and monuments that make its history.
The first legend is linked to the sickle-shaped plan. It tells the story of Cerer, the goddess of the earth and fertility. Whilerunning around the world on a chariot driven by winged servants in search of her daughter Proserpine, who had been kidnapped by Pluto, she dropped her sickle. The myth goes that Drepanon was born, the city of the two seas, the Meditteranean and the Tyrrenian that come together right by the Lgny Watch tower.
