A city as sweet as its wine

Fountain under the centenary trees of Marsala
Fountain under the centenary trees of Marsala

Marsala is a beautiful and characteristic city in Sicily, in southern Italy, which really deserves to be visited. In Marsala it's easy to feel at home... the famous and traditional Italy, where the people are warm and a good dish of pasta is always ready on the table..

Here you will find a great Arab influence, since the city was still called Marsa Allah (Port of God), and it was under Saracen domination. A trip to the historic center of this city is really not to be missed.

It is worth observing and patiently admiring the beautiful buildings that are located in the traditional and important 'Piazza della Republica', or Loggia, as it is equally known. I also recommend a visit to the Duomo of the city, erected as a tribute to St. Thomas of Cantebury.

Don't forget to try the delicious Marsala wine, sweet and fortified!
