History and sights
St. Tropez has a colorful history that dates back to prehistoric times when the area was inhabited by various tribes…
The Greeks settled the area, followed by the Romans, and signs of the city’s classical past are still evident in numerous statues and other artifacts that have been found in nearby shipwrecks off the coast.
Following the end of the Roman Empire the city was ruled by various viscounts, including those of Marseilles, Castellanes and Suffrens. The city was destroyed in 14th century but rebuilt by Genoise families in the 15th century when it became an independent republic. It was home to Corsair pirates and later for shipbuilders and fishermen.
For many visitors to St Tropez, the top attraction is the chance to catch a glimpse of famous movie stars, sporting heroes and other celebrities.
However, there is much more to the town than beautiful people and perfect beaches such as The Citadel and the Three Towers, Place aux Herbes and Place des Lices.
