A postcard landscape

The salt pans stretch along the coast between Marsala and Trapani, creating an environment of extraordinary beauty. The basins, separated by thin embankments, reflect the sky like mirrors, providing a striking spectacle in every season. At sunset, the colors of the sun blend with the water and salt, creating hues ranging from pink to deep orange.

An age-old tradition

Salt harvesting in the salt pans of Marsala is a practice that dates back to Phoenician times. Even today, this activity is carried out following traditional methods, handed down from generation to generation. During the summer, you can watch the harvesting process, an event that combines work and culture, engaging visitors in an authentic experience.
