Create art and experience history and culture in “The Arches,” a 13th-century covered archway overlooking the Coast of the Gods in Tropea, Italy
“The Arches,” perched on the cliffside of historic Tropea in southern Calabria, are believed to have been built during the Angevin period in the thirteenth century. In this old but light-filled space, artists spend a week creating art and absorbing a unique blend of sun, stone, earth, and sea.





TROPEArte was founded in 2023 with a vision of uniting art, history, and culture in Tropea, rooted in a spirit of humanity and built on the town’s history of art, openness, tolerance, and independence. Its Artist Residency at the Arches is administered in collaboration with Studio Italiano Tropea




Come paint with us under the seven Tropean arches overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
