Tropea

Tropea in the webcam is a popular resort town in the province of Vibo Valentia, located on a rocky cape between the bays of St. Euphemia and Gioia Tauro in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Tropea in the online camera is one of the most important tourist centers of Calabria due to its natural landscapes, sea beauties and historical monuments. It is customary to call the city in a live broadcast the “pearl” of the Tyrrhenian Sea, because it is the local beaches that have repeatedly been awarded the Blue Flag international award for the purity of the water.

The beaches are the main attraction of the resort in the online camera. The most popular of them: Costa Degli Dei (or Costa Bella), which is part of the southern coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the province of Vibo Valentia. This is a real paradise for fans of water sports. For divers, there is a great opportunity to see a variety of representatives of the local flora, and fans of kitesurfing and windsurfing are favored by sea winds.

The Costa degli Dei is 55 km long with white sandy beaches interspersed with sharp rocks that create miniature coves accessible only by boat or on foot. Its middle name – Costa Bella received thanks to the picturesque view of the Aeolian Islands, which are located just 60 km from the coast. In addition to Tropea in the webcam, the communes of Pizzo, Briatico, Zambrone, Parghelia, Vibo Valentia, Ricadi, Joppolo and Nicotera are part of the Costa degli Dei.

Of the museums in Tropea in this online live camera, it is worth visiting the Diocesan Museum, founded in 2004. Here, in the rooms of the episcopal palace, located opposite the cathedral collection, exhibits representing a curious collection are kept. The collection of the museum contains works of art belonging to the local diocese – a series of marble statues, including a statue of Saints Peter and Paul (16th century), as well as a triptych by a Neapolitan master depicting the Virgin Mary, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clara of Assisi.
