The name of Campofelice indicates the fertility of the soil.

The small town rose as a farm-house along the coast near the mounths of the stream Roccella.

Only in 1699 it was enlarged by the noble Gaspare La Grutta who changed its original place.

Of particular interest is the Cathedral Church of the seventeenth period, centre of public relations and the main place of the town-planning; the tower-castle, Torre Roccella, of the XIV century and some remains of factories of the Arabic fort that garrisoned the agricultural inland.
