According to one version of the legend, Michael threw Lucifer off his horse. As this happened, the saddle fell down and formed a hill. According to another version of the legend, the devil fell to the ground and gave the hill its characteristic shape.The stretch of sea in front of the Sella del Diavolo is now called the Gulf of the Angels.
