Castello della Colombaia. Colombaia, also known as Torre Peliade or Sea Castle, is a medieval fortress with very ancient roots (probably built during the First Punic War, around 260 BC), located on a small island at the western end of Trapani Harbor.

As you run along the coast of Trapani and pass the Castello della Colombaia, a very special running highlight opens up. The medieval fortress sits on a small island at the western end of Trapani's harbor and is an impressive sight due to its long history dating back to the First Punic War. The view of the fishing boats in the harbor and the majestic walls of the Colombaia make the run particularly atmospheric - especially in the early morning or late afternoon hours when the light softly falls on the scene.

When you run this route, you can literally feel the history in the old walls as you escape everyday life on the quieter streets of Trapani. There are no major elevation changes here for runners, making the route a relaxed choice for any training run.

If you are a little off the beaten track, you can experience authentic Trapani on your own - it is worth paying attention not only to the Colombaia, but also to the charming fishing boats and the open sea.
