Roman Catholic Diocese of Scala : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roman Catholic Diocese of Scala
The Diocese of Scala is a bishopric centred on Scala in Italy. No longer a residential see, it is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.〔''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2013, ISBN 978-88-209-9070-1), p. 965〕 It was established as a diocese in 987. On 31 July 1603 it was merged ''aeque principaliter'' with the diocese of Ravello. On 27 June 1818 the Diocese of Scala was suppressed by Pope Pius VII's bull ''De utiliori'' and all its territories were incorporated into the archdiocese of Amalfi (now the Archdiocese of Amalfi-Cava de' Tirreni). It is now the seat of a titular archbishopric, currently held by ArchbishopEdward Joseph Adams, Apostolic Nuncio to Greece. ==History==
Scala is the oldest town of the Amalfi coast, set about 400 meters above sea level. According to tradition it was founded in the 4th century AD by a group of shipwrecked Romans trying to make their way to Constantinople. A fortified bulwark, Scala was part of the defensive system of the territory of Amalfi. Its history is closely related to that of the Marine Republic of Amalfi. It was a bishopric from 987 to 1818. In 1073, after a strong siege, it was burned by Robert Guiscard. Soon after, it was sacked by the Pisans, by Ottone Brunswich (1210), and by the Sicilians (1283).〔http://www.amalficoast.com/paesi/scala-14.aspx 〕 With more than a thousand-year history, Scala (during the height of its economic splendor) had about 130 churches. It is also noted as the birthplace of Gerardo de Saxo, the founder of the Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, or the Knights Hospitaller.〔http://www.amalficoast.com/paesi/scala-14.aspx 〕
