SEI - Saline Ettore E Infersa

Saline di Marsala, or the Salt Pans of Marsala, is a fascinating natural and cultural site located in the vicinity of the city of Marsala, in the province of Trapani, Sicily, Italy. It is one of the oldest and most significant salt extraction areas in Europe, with a history that dates back to Phoenician times.The Saline di Marsala covers a vast coastal area where seawater is collected in shallow ponds and left to evaporate under the Mediterranean sun. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a layer of salt, which is then harvested by skilled workers using traditional methods. The traditional windmills that dot the landscape play a crucial role in the salt extraction process. Historically, the windmills were used to pump seawater into the ponds, and some of them are still functional today, preserving the area's unique cultural heritage.
