Trapani has been linked for centuries to the productive activities of salt extraction, to fishing (in particular that of < strong> tuna for which the slaughter technique was used in tuna) and the related canning industry, Trapani also offers a suggestive environmental setting, favored by its position on a peninsula in the shape of a scythe.

Here are four good reasons to be enchanted by the city between two seas, as Trapani is often referred to as:

1) A promenade on the seafront of Trapani, in particular on the stretch between Viale delle Sirene and the Tower of Ligny, a real terrace overlooking the sea where the view can range over the vast expanse of the Mediterranean, particularly suggestive at sunset.

2) A visit to the Agostino Pepoli Regional Museum, one of the most important museums of Sicily, housed in the splendid setting of the former fourteenth-century convent of the Carmelites, which houses an important collection of decorative arts, sculptures, and a picture gallery that includes, among others, paintings by Titian and Giacomo Balla.

3) A moment of contact with nature in the Saline Integral Nature Reserve of Trapani and Paceco, characterized by remarkable specimens of flora and fauna, in particular flamingos, herons and gulls.

4) An opportunity for emotion and enchantment during the evocative Procession of the Mysteries of Good Friday, which it winds for almost twenty-four hours through the streets of the historic center, in a show of lights, colors and sounds; during the procession twenty statuary groups depicting the Passion and Death of Christ, made of wood, canvas and glue by the craftsmen from Trapani between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Trapani deserves to be visited in all its parts, in fact, there are numerous tourists who go to this wonderful city every year.
