An important natural product is extracted from the sea's saltwater here. Only through the power of the elements, sun and wind, which evaporate the water in the saltworks' shallow basins, does pure salt remain. Even today, you won't find a kitchen without salt to season dishes. But in earlier times, it had an additional significance: It was important for preserving food and was therefore so precious that salt was called "white gold."

The beautiful salt pans of Trapani are a sight for sore eyes.

The Maria Stella mill, located on the state road to Trapani, houses the visitor center of the “Riserva naturale orientata delle Saline di Trapani e Paceco”, a protected natural area a few kilometers from Trapani, established in 1995, with the dual intent of preserving a unique habitat, in which a large number of species of migratory birds find shelter (it seems more than 180 have been counted), as well as stopping the advancing building expansion. The Salt Museum is also housed inside the mill.

The roads that cross the Natural Reserve of the Saline di Trapani and Paceco are easily accessible by bicycle; not all are accessible because they border on private land; in autumn you can enjoy a particular light that enhances the white of the salt deposits.
