La Chiesa Madonna della Scala, consacrata ai santi Simone e Giuda, fu edificata nel 1181 da parte dell'Arcivescovo Basilio II Paleano, patrizio tarantino che, a proprie spese, provvide cosi a creare un diritto patronale per i suoi eredi. Nel 1881 la Chiesa fu donata alla Curia e adibita ad Oratorio fino al 1950. Verso gli anni '50 essa fu sconsacrata ed adibita a circolo culturale.
