Town of Tropea
Tropea (Greek:
Tropaea, Trophea) is a municipality located within the province of
Vibo Valentia, in Calabria (southern Italy).
The town is a famous bathing place, situated on a reef, in the gulf
of St. Euphemia connected with the mainland by a narrow strip in the
Tyrrhenian Sea, toward the south with respect to Vibo Valentia and
northward with respect to Ricadi and Capo Vaticano.
Many villages around
Tropea produce a particular quality of red onion. In Italy these
onions are so famous that cipolla di Tropea ("Tropea onion" or "Tropea's
onion") has become an Italian synonym for all red onions.
One of the gelaterias in town, Tonino in the Corso, even makes a red
onion ice cream (as well as others based on squid ink and nduja, the
local spicy salami).
Tropea Castle was a
castle in Tropea in Vibo Valentia province of Calabria in southern
Italy. In 1725, one of four towers of the castle was damaged, and
the entire castle was finally destroyed in 1876, by Carlo Toraldo
with explosives.
