Salt Pans of Trapani and Paceco

Historic windmill that houses the Salt Museum. Built for pumping and grinding, it now exhibits traditional tools, archival photographs, and salt-harvesting devices such as ntinni and Archimedean screws. Interprets the cultural and economic importance of salt in the region.

A 16th‑century coastal watchtower beside Salina Culcasi, part of the defensive system against corsair raids—now a scenic landmark overlooking the salt basins.

About 49 traditional stone windmills scattered throughout the reserve. Once used for pumping water and crushing salt, many have been restored and are especially photogenic at sunset.

Shallow terraced basins where seawater evaporates, leaving behind layers of salt. Their shifting colours—from pale pink to silver—change with sunlight and salinity.

One of the most iconic viewpoints in the reserve. The shallow basins reflect vivid skies at dusk — a favourite location for photographers.

Wetland habitats supporting flamingos, herons, avocets, and dozens of migratory species. Most active in spring and autumn (Mar–May, Sep–Oct).
