Argyroupolis is the site of the ancient city of Lappa. According to the myths, Lappa was created by Agamemnon, the hero of the Trojan war.

Lappa was one of the most important cities of western Crete during Roman times. The coins of Lappa at this time had a representation of Poseidon on them.
There are visible remnants of Roman mosaics and carved tombs.
Lappa was also important during Byzantine times but it was destroyed by the Arabs in 828 A.D.

Argyroupoli is also known  for its natural attractions , since the visitor will find here beautiful springs and old mills.

The sources of the Agia Dinami (Holy Force), with reference to the divine origin of the power of the water, dominate the verdant valley with the waters of the river Mousselas flowing from every location. One hundred meters down from the church of Saints Five Virgins there are the springs of the Petres River in an idyllic landscape with huge centuries old plane trees.
