Marsala

Famous for the famous dessert wine bearing the town's name, Marsala was founded by the Phoenician survivors of the sack of Mozia. Today Marsala is a lively and hospitable town with interesting 16th and 17th century churches. Oppertunity to visit a cantina to taste the famous local wine.

Salt Pans

The Salt Pans, between Trapani and Marsala, reached the height of their importance in the 19th Century when salt was exported as far away as Norway. At that time this was one of the country's main exports. Long hot summers and the impermeable nature of the land made these marshes very productive. At one time the Archimedes screws (used to raise water from basin to basin) were powered by the numerous windmills, some of which have later been restored and are a magnificent sight.

Scopello

Scopello is a very beautiful small seafaring village risen round to a seventeenth rural farm that still today shows oneself on the central public square of country.
The very beautiful steeps needles of Scopello rise bristly and are covered by vegetation opposite the homonimous tuna station.
They are placed in a splendid inlet bathed from the sea. The tuna station, testimony of an activity which was once flourishing.
