The variety of the environment, from the wide plain to the Erice and Cofano Mountains, the natural reserve of the salt pans and the sea, make it possible to Trapani a world to discover.
City set between two seas, known as the city of salt and sailing, has developed over time a thriving economic activity linked to extraction and salt trade, taking advantage of its natural position, overlooking the Mediterranean, and its port that formerly served as a commercial outlet for the most famous Eryx, today Erice, located on the mountain above Trapani.
The salt pans of Trapani and Paceco constitute a natural habitat of considerable nature in a landscape dotted with ancient windmills. Great landscape aspects are the Viale delle Sirene near the Tower of Ligny, which takes on a real conformation of a “terrace on the sea” offering breathtaking views and unmissable sunsets and the walk to the Walls of Tramontana, which represents one of the most evocative views.
