Pizzo and Tropea “Visiting the Pearls of the Coast of the Gods”
Pizzo and Tropea “Visiting the Pearls of the Coast of the Gods”
You will discover one of the most charming places in the region - the “Coast of the Gods” - and visit the one that is always called "Pearl of the Tyrrhenian", Tropea. The city sits on a high sandstone cliff overlooking the sea, with colors similar to that of an emerald. Legend has it that its founder was Hercules, who, on his return from Spain, stopped along the coast of Tropea, making the place one of the famous “Hercules' gates.” We will start the visit at the Sanctuary on the Island of Santa Maria. The church is of Basilian origin and was later a Benedictine property. The façade of the sanctuary was remodeled after the various earthquakes that hit Calabria. From the top, we will enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the coast and the old town of Tropea. The guided tour will continue reaching the Cathedral, to visit the beautiful 12th century Co-Cathedral church, built on a Byzantine necropolis. We will continue with the visit of the historic center and its narrow streets, where you will notice the incredible noble palaces that lead us to Migliarese, to admire the sanctuary from a different perspective. After a delicious lunch, we will stroll around Pizzo Calabro. Pizzo is famous for its Church of Piedigrotta, unique in the world because it is located inside a cave, and on top of that, with a view to the sea. Then, we will go to the historic center to visit the Aragonese Castle from the mid-15th century, where the king of Naples, Gioacchino Murat, brother-in-law of Napoleon Bonaparte, was arrested. At the end of the tour, we can taste the famous ice cream, called in the beautiful city "truffle", "Tartufo Nero". Due to the quality of ice cream in general, the location was defined as the "city of ice cream". Return to Cosenza.
