Grotteria, a small Calabrian jewel, was born around a temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva, known as Eruma Atenaies between the 8th and 9th centuries BC. It became Crypta-Aurea under the emperor Hadrian due to the gold reserves in the area, and underwent Locrian, Byzantine, Norman and Swabian domination. Marked by earthquakes, it has a rich architectural history, from churches to noble palaces, such as Palazzo Lupis.
