Trapani

Trapani lies along Sicily’s western coast, on a narrow, low-lying peninsula facing the Egadi Islands and the Mediterranean. Its historic centre reaches toward the sea in a compact grid of streets, with the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the Church of Purgatory among its established landmarks. Beyond the city, the salt pans of Trapani and Paceco form a protected coastal wetland where salt has been harvested for centuries; their shallow basins and windmills remain central to the local identity. Each Good Friday, Trapani’s Processione dei Misteri carries sacred sculptural groups through the streets, continuing a major tradition of the city’s religious life.
