Places to see in ( Marsala - Italy ) • Marsala is an Italian town located in the Province of Trapani in the westernmost part of Sicily. Marsala is the most populated town in its province and the fifth in Sicily. The town is famous for the docking of Giuseppe Garibaldi on 11 May 1860 (the Expedition of the Thousand) and for its Marsala wine. A feature of the area is the Stagnone Lagoon Natural Reserve — a marine area with salt ponds. Marsala is built on the ruins of the ancient Carthaginian city of Lilybaeum, and includes in its territory the archaeological site of the island of Motya, an ancient Phoenician town. • Situated at the extreme western point of Sicily, the town was founded on Lilibeo Cape from where the Aegadian Islands and the Stagnone Lagoon can be seen. The territory of Marsala, 241 square kilometres (93 sq mi), has a rich cultural and landscape heritage; its area includes the Stagnone Lagoon, a Natural Reserve in which is located the island of Mozia. • In 397 BCE the Phoenician colony of Motya on the southwestern coast of Sicily was invaded and destroyed by the Syracusan tyrant Dionysius I. The survivors founded a town on the mainland nearby that they called Lilybaion (Lilybaeum in Latin), The town that looks at Libya , on the site of modern-day Marsala. The Punic fortress Lilybaion was never conquered although it was besieged several times, e.g. by Pyrrhus of Epirus and by the Romans. • Ravaged by Vandals during the 5th century CE, the town was annexed in the 6th century to Justinian's Byzantine Empire. In this period the town was struck by dysentery, raided by pirates, and neglected by Constantinople. Since the end of the 11th century, the area has been conquered by Swedish, Norman, Angevin and Aragonese troops. During this time, Marsala became wealthy, primarily through trade. • Alot to see in Marsala such as : • Marsala Cathedral • Church of Purgatorio. • Church of Addolorata. • Church of Itriella. • Convent, church and belfry of the Carmine. • Church of Saint Matthew. • Church and monastery of Saint Peter. • Church of Saint John the Baptist. • Spanish Quarters (Town Hall) • VII April Palace (16th–17th century), built on the site of the Lodge of Pisani. • Fici Palace. • Grignani Palace. • Spanò-Burgio Palace. • Communal theatre, built in 19th Century consists in 300 seats, reopened during the 1994 and dedicated to Eliodoro Sollima. • Cine Teatro Impero, built during Fascism. • Agricultural Technical Institute With Specialized School Wine Abele Damiani Marsala • ( Marsala - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Marsala .
