What to visit in Sicily: Marsala: An Areal Journey Through Sicily's Historic Port Town!

Marsala is a place that needs to be slowly savoured. From its baroque historic centre to its salt pans and the island of Mozia, discovering it with slow sips leaves a pleasant aftertaste of … wine. It is located in the westernmost point of Sicily, in the province of Trapani, and is famous in Italian history for the Landing of the Thousand. Its historical centre is small and intimate, and you can explore it on foot in a couple of hours. On 11 May 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi and the Thousand passed through Porta Garibaldi. Together with Porta Nuova, they are the two historic gates still visible in the city. From Piazza Matteotti to Porta Nuova, one “struscia” (“crawls”) along Via XI Maggio, called the Cassaro. Together with Via Garibaldi, it is one of Marsala’s main streets. The atmosphere is very suggestive, both in the morning and evening. The elegant Piazza della Repubblica is the heart of the town. There stands the majestic Mother Church dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury. Its construction began in the Norman era, and the style of the Church is very recognisable, especially in the interior. The external façade is Baroque. Legend tells that a ship bound for England with a cargo of Corinthian columns had to land on the Sicilian coast because of a storm. That explains why the most important Church in the city is devoted to a Canterbury Saint. Among the “minor” Churches is the Chiesa del Purgatorio, with its magnificent Baroque façade in two styles, and the Chiesa dell’Addolorata, whose construction is related to a miracle. While strolling, majestic buildings such as Palazzo Burgio-Spanò catch the eye. And Palazzo Fici, one of the oldest and most prestigious buildings on Via XI Maggio, with its spectacular cobbled courtyard. The Palace is the symbol of “Marsala, City of Wine”, and it houses the Municipal Winery. Source: https://www.visitsicily.info/en/marsa...
