The salt pans of Trapani are a place rich in history and nature. Suffice it to say that the sea salt extraction activity in this area has continued uninterruptedly since the year 1000 BC without particular changes in terms of procedure other than the introduction of motor machinery instead of windmills to move water between the various tubs. In addition to the cultural aspect, this area is also important on a naturalistic level. In fact, since 1995 a protected natural area has been established as a transit area for various species of migratory birds that stop here on their journey to and from the African coasts.

A highly commercialized salt production no longer takes place, but some wind turbines are still in operation. All very interesting and beautiful to look at.
