History of Tropea<\/h2>\n
As Tropea, is a very ancient town, its history spans thousands of years.<\/p>\n
In Greek mythology it had noble origins, it is said in fact that Hercules moored his boat here during his travels seeking the golden fleece with the Argonauts, founding one of his harbours here. This is why it was called Portercole as all his arbours.<\/p>\n
One day the gods passing along this beautiful coast, were enchanted by it and asked Zeus to call Hercules to construct Tropea as a trophy above the port in honour of the gods.<\/p>\n
On returning from his journey Hercules therefore founded Tropea that was so beautiful that the Greeks said that she, Tropea, was \u201cthe bride of the sea\u201d and they wanted to join her to the gods.<\/p>\n
After a catastrophic earthquake in the greek-roman period the mountain above Tropea crumbled causing the port to be covered with sand.<\/p>\n
The port was then rebuilt close by.<\/p>\n
