Historical summary of Tropea.
An area of little importance during the most distant eras, Tropea developed as a qtown, above all, during the occupation of the Byzantines to whorm the town remained loyal for a long time. Its recent past saw it become a prominent centre in politics and the economy: indeed a wealthy landed bourgeoisie developed,whose fortune is still visible today in in the seemliness of the numerous buildings in the historic centre.
Tropea also had a flourishing maritime trade which enabled the town to maintain economic ties with all countries in the Mediterranean.
