Marsala

Marsala is the ancient Lilibeo. Its urban center dates back to 397 BC, when the defeated Phoenicians settled in the island. It is located on the extreme tip of western Sicily, in a fascinating area of interest compared to other locations, both for the climatic conditions and its geographical position. It has 14 km of coast, with many beaches . It is an ancient city, rich in historical and archaeological evidence. Its important position in the Mediterranean Sea has been the dominant factor in its history. It is known throughout the world for the landing of Garibaldi with the thousand men and for the wine bearing its own name. The old town is enclosed by gates and ramparts that lead into the streets where museums, Spanish palaces, monuments and churches are overlooked. Marsala is a city of great touristic attraction with the beautiful landscape of the Stagnone sprinkled with islands and salt pans with their windmills. A lovely setting from dawn to dusk. The “Stagnone-oriented Natural Reserve” is Sicily’s largest lagoon between Marsala and Trapani. Environment of great interest and great landscaping effect, the lagoon is composed by a small island archipelago: Isola Lunga, the island of Santa Maria, the island of Scuola and the island of Mozia. In the frame of the salt pans you can also see the beautiful windmills, and from June to September you can see the activity of the men who collect the salt.
