The Ancient Salt Pans between Trapani and Marsala
Stagnone is one of the two main areas of salt production and the largest lagoon in Italy. Stagnone is home to the ancient tradition of sea salt production, dating back to the Phoenicians some 2700 years ago! Windmills, first introduced during medieval times, dot the horizon, showing us how things were once done. We had the opportunity to take a boat to the Phoenician archaeological site on the island of Mothya on Isola San Pantaleo. In the bottom photo you can actually see the salt heading for shore. The salt is 100% natural and contains a higher concentration of potassium and magnesium than common salt but less sodium chloride. Our guide also treated us to their famous Marsala wine!!!!!!
