the pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea
TROPEA
Tropea, known as the “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian”, with its intricate alleys and its views and terraces on the sea, is one of the most enchanting places on the coast. Located 10 km from Capo Vaticano, it is rich in history and symbols of a glorious past. The cathedral, founded in the Norman period, still has two gothic portals of great charm and preserves inside the works of extraordinary value. “Magnificent” is too little to define the Benedictine Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’isola, one of the most photographed places in Tropea. In fact, the Sanctuary stands on a rock right in front of the town and overlooks its clear sea.
