Frequent strong winds of mistral and sirocco make heavy rain falls limited hence the wettest period is usually winter. MARSALA art and culture On the most Western rocky promontory of Sicily, Capo Boeo, the ancient city of Lilybaeum, now Marsala, was founded in 397 BC by Phoenician survivors, who took refuge here after the destruction of the island of Mothia by hand of Dionysius of Syracuse. Famous since ancient times for its strategic location at the centre of the Mediterranean and opposite the African coast, Marsala has always been a crossroad for varied and distant populations that have arrived over the centuries. The city consists of a small and charming old square shaped town, protected by Spanish walls and four city gates, surrounded by a fertile territory where more than one hundred districts are located; these are today small towns, they originated around the Baglio. Of the four city doors: Porta Mazara, Porticella, Porta Nuova and Porta Mare today called Porta Garibaldi, only the last two remain, the first two were destroyed by mistake during an attack of the Second World War. Marsala is called “the Golden City” as the entire historic centre is surrounded by a bright yellow and warm light given by the joining of the sun rays and the tuff sandstone of the buildings and architecture of the old town. Marsala is today a town with over 90,000 inhabitants and introduces itself to the world of tourism with a unique and authentic historicalcultural, natural and gastronomical heritage. ONE CITY MANY PEOPLE By walking through the historic centre of Marsala it is possible to admire the archaeological and architectural beauties left by the ancient civilisations through the centuries: Phoenician Punic traces: • Island of Mozia, now a private museum belonging to the Whitaker Foundation • Archaeological Park (Hellenistic and Roman remains and multi-coloured mosaics from the third and fourth centuries AD) • Punic Ship (Marsala was the epicentre of the Punic wars) the Museum Baglio Anselmi houses the remains of the oldest warship found to date • Ruins of St. Jerome (Remains of the ancient Punic and Roman city) • The floor plan of the entire city, which is represented by a square structure, originally equipped with sturdy defensive walls and towers Roman traces (fourth century. A.D.): • St. John the Baptist Church, on the Boeo seafront, which contains the Lilybean’s Sibyl cave, became Baptistery with the proclamation of Christianity • The port during the Roman domination acquired renowned importance for all shipments between the old continent and Africa. Lilybeo became a rich and developed fortified city, enriched by new buildings and sumptuous villas (as evidenced by the excavations of Cape Boeo in the Archaeological Park). Arab traces (VIII sec. A.D.): •The current name of Marsala, is probably due to the original Arabic Marsa Allah which means Port of Allah •The massive development of agriculture, with the introduction of new irrigation systems Norman traces (XIsec.): •Mother Church, the Cathedral, construction begun in 1177 and was dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury Aragon traces (XVI.): •Military Spanish Quarter built in the sixteenth century, with a watering hole for horses in the centre of the square, now a magnificent fountain surrounded by ficus benjaminus of extraordinary beauty British traces (XVIII sec.): •The discovery of “Perpetuum” wine through the work of some important English merchant families such as Woodhouse and Ingham, who thanks to their brilliant marketing skills made the Marsala wine become renowned, famous in the world today and important Sicilian DOC. The modern history of the city of Marsala is linked to its wine that made it famous around the world. MUSEUMS MONUMENTAL COMPLEX OF SAN PIETRO Inside the Monumental Complex of Saint Peter, today multipurpose centre, in the heart of the city within easy reach of the Cathedral, characterized by a large courtyard dominated by a tower with two rows of loggias, and the cusp covered with emerald green majolica, arise: •The Municipal Library •The International Centre of Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman and of the Risorgimento studies •The Civic Museum Garibaldi MUSEUMS THE GARIBALDINO MUSEUM Marsala in 1860 was the site of the most important accomplishment of the Italian Risorgimento, the Battle of the Thousand by Giuseppe Garibaldi. All proof of this heroic feat that led the unification of Italy is represented in the Garibaldi Museum of the City. Opened in 1998 on 11 May, in honour of the Landing of the Thousand in 1860, the museum offers a permanent exhibition of memorabilia, documents and letters of the time, weapons and costumes from the period of the Risorgimento. A photo archive illustrates the fundamental stages of the unification of Italy. There is also a room entirely dedicated to Giuseppe Garibaldi and the memory of Garibaldi’s Thousand. ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM BAGLIO ANSELMI On the Boeo Waterfront, near the Cape of the same name, stands the Archaeological Museum Baglio Anselmi. The massive establishment was originally built for producing and storing wine as far back as the early ‘800. In 1986 the museum was opened by the Superintendent. Currently it consists of three areas: the outside where you walk along paths in a park between archaeological findings dating back to the ancient Lilybeum; the internal hosting the wreck of a Punic ship probably a battleship, dating back to the battle of Egadi in 241 BC and found in Punta Alga and the Church of St. John in Boeo emblem of the whole park. In the basement of the church, there is a freshwater spring, dating back to 397 BC and is the symbol of a pagan oracular water cult called “Cave of the Sybil”. MUSEUM OF THE TAPESTRIES Opened in 1984 by the archpriest Andrea Linares, the Tapestry Museum is housed in via Garaffa, in a room next to the apse of the Cathedral. The museum has 8 beautiful Flemish tapestries donated to the Chiesa Madre in Marsala by the Bishop of Messina, Antonio Lombardo in 1589. This rare and organic set of eight towels in wool and silk is undoubtedly of considerable artistic and historical value, they represent the Jewish War of 66 AD when the Jewish people turned against the occupation of the Roman Emperor Nero. The works of the Flemish painter Peeter Kempeneer, known as Pietro Campana, one of the most active upholsterers in the Flanders in the second half of the sixteenth century. MONUMENTAL COMPLEX OF CARMINE Within the Carmelite convent founded in 1250, today there are: • The National Exhibition of Contemporary Painting whose function is to promote the artistic and cultural activities of the city of Marsala, whose rooms overlook a beautiful cloister; • The Municipal Art Gallery which boasts more than 750 works by artists of national and international prestige. THE WHITAKER FOUNDATION PRIVATE MUSEUM: MOZIA Inside the Whitaker Museum you can admire the important Greek sculpture of the fifth century BC probably by Phidia (the “The youth of Mozia” ). The Mozia island can be completely visited using naturalistic footpath that link the most important Phoenician-Punic findings. ETTORE AND INFERSA SALT MUSEUM This museum housed in a grinding mill that dates back to 1500 is situated in the warehouse of Infersa, once used for the processing of salt and storage of farm tools, it occupies an area of over 500 square meters and it represents the highlight of the visit to the salt flats. Its restoration was completed by the owners of the salt flats in March 1996, who today manage the production aspect as well as the tourists wellbeing. In 2015, other works where developed in the museum enriching it with a multimedia route enabling visitors to gain a significant knowledge of the “culture of salt”. The BAGLI On the green hills that surround the city centre, solitary and charming old farm buildings ruined by time, stand: the Bagli. These structures, built mainly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, are testimony to the peasant and landowner economy that prevailed in the past. The “bagli” were rural residences essential to the agricultural economy of Marsala’s countryside, able to support themselves in some seasons of the year, given their distance from the city centre and the lack of a good road system. The typical architectural structure was made of a large quadrangular building, with high walls and small windows, enclosing a large yard overlooked by different buildings, each of which had its own specific use, while in an elevated position stood the house that the owner used during harvesting periods. Some rooms of the “bagli” were often used for the olive milling and the crushing of the grapes, here the ancestor of Marsala wine, “wine perpetuum” was produced and stored in oak barrels. Today some “bagli” have been carefully restored and turned into beautiful accommodations, where comfort and services have transformed them into characteristic resorts. MARSALA’S HOLY WEEK: PROCESSIONS CELEBRATING THE HOLY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY In Marsala the Holy Week is a very important event, where tradition, custom and faith come together, giving life to a timeless show that attracts tourists from all around the world. The main events during Holy Week are the Processions of Thursday and Friday. These processions recall the main passages of Christ’s passion and are represented in Marsala in their original form, without using statues, as opposed to the nearby cities of Trapani and Erice. This is due to the fact that in Marsala there has always been an active theatrical tradition, which gave origin to the first theatre in the province. Today the evangelical characters represented wear period costumes, while Christ wears a wax mask to give consistency to the representation. The costumes used during the procession are kept in a special section of the Civic Museum, located in the San Pietro’s monumental complex where it is possible to view them all year round. Holy Thursday’s procession represents the Passion and Death of Christ and is interpreted by a large number of Marsala inhabitants who have the passion and devotion to keep this traditional sacred representation alive. The first stage is the entry of Christ into Jerusalem and the last his death, resulting in a long procession, throughout the afternoon of Holy Thursday, parades pass through the streets of the old town, followed by tourists and locals who come from every region of the suburbs. The Good Friday Procession has instead a less spectacular and folkloristic impact, but is the most impressive and felt by the believers: two long parallel lanes of people, including many barefoot, holding battery or wax torches, precede the statues of Our Lady of Sorrows and the dead Christ, carried on the shoulders of the faithful dressed in black alternating in groups of six at a time. The statue of Our Lady of Sorrows leaves from the Chiesa Madre in Piazza della Repubblica and, late at night, returns to the sanctuary which is dedicated to her and where the faithful, in small groups, enter for a last prayer. Marsala sea and Nature SEA AND BEACHES Few know that Marsala has a pristine coastline of extraordinary beauty, characterized by fine white sand and clear blue sea, comparable to the distant Caribbean seas. The typical Mediterranean climate, ease of access to the sea thanks to its sandy shallow shoreline make Marsala a perfect destination for tourists and families. In 2014 the entire Mediterranean coast of Marsala was awarded the renowned Blue Flag and in 2015 Marsala was recognized by the Italian association of Paediatricians as one of the fifteen municipalities of Italy easily accessible and functional for families with children of all ages. All this thanks to the wonderful beaches, equipped with every comfort and service for every type of visitor. The coast of Marsala extends for 14 Km and is divided into two main coasts with different characteristics: • The north coast, in the region of Birgi airport, and where the road ends between two seas in the hamlet of San Teodoro, giving origin to one of the most charming and unique seas of Sicily. In this forgotten corner of coast, the stagnant and calm sea of the Stagnone Lagoon meets the Mediterranean Sea, often divided by a strip of sand that emerges like an atoll depending on the tides. In the background you can see the Egadi Islands (Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo), so close to seem within swimming reach. In this part of the coastline alternating between rocky coves, beaches of thin sand for lovers of solitude and beaches equipped with every comfort. After a brisk walk, it is possible for the more sporty and nature lovers to reach Isola lunga and visit the still working salt flats. • The south coast with its 11 Km spread of sand on the Mediterranean seafront and in the direction of Mazara del Vallo, is characterized by a coastline which boasts equipped beaches where you can enjoy your aperitifs at sunset accompanied by music, restaurants and pizzerias by the sea. Its long sandy beach and blue Sea is slightly cooler than the northern coastal waters. NATURAL RESERVE OF THE STAGNONE The lagoon area of Stagnone, is developed in a surface of water enclosed between the north coast of Marsala and Isola Lunga (strip of land about 11 Km long) which along with other smaller islands (San Pantaleo better known as Mozia, Santa Maria and Schola) separate it from the open Sea. Here the waters are about a meter deep and the temperature in summer reaches nearly 30 ° and has a high saline content. The regeneration of the water and oxygen is produced through an opening of roughly 40 meters between the northern tip of Isola Lunga and the beginning of the coast north of Marsala (San Teodoro), thanks to which animals and plants proliferate in and out of the water. This stretch of Sea around 2012 hectares provides a natural oasis for an abundance of flora and fauna, which add to the beauty of its environment: •The salt flats: the extraction of natural salt from the sea, already utilised at the time of the Phoenicians and economic engine for the area until the twentieth century, is still operating today and appears as a picturesque composition capable of giving colours, smells and always different impressions depending on the time of year. Sea water enters a path of tanks and moves inside with the help of wind energy produced by the ancient windmills, increasing along the way its salt concentration to evaporate completely and leave room for salt workers who collect the salt surfaced by hand with iron shovels. Looking at the salt flats from a distance their beauty is added together with the beauty of the tanks which are different shades of colour (from blue to pink to orange depending on the salt concentration and the height of the sun), the ancient windmills and the islands as a background, result in a magical and unrepeatable landscape. •The island of Mozia or San Pantaleo is a small archaeological island measuring about forty-five hectares with a long history behind it dating back to Phoenician times, then conquered by the Carthaginians, the Greeks and the Normans. Mozia was the first trading post in Sicily and one of the most prosperous Phoenician-Punic colonies of Western Sicily. Starting from Mozia in 397 BC as a result of the siege of the island at the hands of Dionysius the Elder, tyrant of Syracuse, the city of Marsala was founded, then Lylibeo, through the hands of his refugee survivors. At the beginning of ‘900, the island was bought by the English industrialist Joseph Whitaker, who came to Marsala to trade the namesake wine, he discovered and increased the archaeological wealth and is now owned by the Whitaker Foundation. •The smaller islands: Schola and Santa Maria who along with Mozia and Isola Lunga are each in their own way an oasis of green, animal life, history and culture within the waters of the Lagoon. •The scenic piers, all in wood, from which you can access the warm waters of the lagoon or enjoy the view of the wonders of the Lagoon, wrapped in an atmosphere of complete relaxation and wellbeing that takes guests out of time and space. MARSALA WINE AND FOOD MARSALA WINE Marsala is still known worldwide for its wine which represented between the ‘700 and’ 800 the first flag of the Made in Italy in the world, and the engine of the economic and cultural development of the whole island. Marsala wine owes its name and its commercial development to the arrival of English merchants in this city, the first was John Woodhouse, but its origins lie in the ancient Sicilian wine tradition already started on the island by the ancient Greeks. Well before the development of the cellars and industrial production of wine, Marsala locals worked and cultivated grapes for their own household consumption and it was common to store in a barrel a selection of the best wine of each year, used only for the most important occasions. This barrel was made with the selection of the best wine of each year and gave birth to the eternal Wine (Perpeetum), so called for the process of continuous topping up, from which originates the Marsala wine. There are few wines in the world that have so many peculiarities, such as to give Marsala wine the character of uniqueness: • History that goes back more than two centuries • Wine of the unification of Italy, appreciated by Garibaldi it was chosen to toast the unification of Italy on May 11, 1860 • Eternal wine that gains value and quality over time • Multiple identity which responds to the needs of every palate: there is a Marsala wine for every taste: sweet, semi-dry and dry • Peculiarities of production, to be discovered in the historic cellars of production • Versatility in combinations from appetizer to dessert • Possibility of long preservation even after opening Each glass of Marsala wine is the gateway to an experience that involves all the senses and it combines all the intensity, warmth and uniqueness that characterize the territory from which it originates. WINE TOURISM In the territory of Marsala, with its centuries-old wine tradition, operate numerous wine cellars of varying sizes, where all the grapes grown in the vast countryside of the province of Trapani and Marsala are transferred and used to produce many PDO and PGI Sicilian wines which are increasingly established on domestic and international markets such as Marsala, Grillo, Zibibbo, Nero d’Avola, Nerello Mascalese and many others. There are more and more wine cellars in Marsala that open their doors to tourists and enthusiasts, giving them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the production realities of each wine, touch, breathe and taste the fruits combined with typical products or during exclusive lunches organized in the wine cellars. This is the best way of getting to know that each bottle of wine not only contains the grapes and hard work, but also faces, families and unique stories to remember forever. THE OLD MARKET The antique market is the heart of the historical centre of the city, where tradition and commerce meet creating a wonderful Sicilian scene every day from 08.00 to 13.00, except Sundays. The Old Market dates back to the sixth century and is located in the ancient Spanish quarters, a short walk from Porta Mare, now called Porta Garibaldi, where it was initially built as stables of the ancient fortress. Once through the gate, it is surrounded by a very lively, unique and authentic atmosphere in which voices, colours, smells and pungent flavours, come together. Each fisherman contributes to the symphony of sounds trying to promote his product with songs and shouts, and giving the best of his theatrical pleasantness. On marble stools of the market traders, according to the season you can find: Tuna and Swordfish, the most impressive given the dimension; Blue Fish such as sardines, mackerel, spatulas, anchovies; soup fish including redfish, monkfish, conger, gurnard, Red crabs called “arance Péluse”, red and white prawns from the nearby Mazara del Vallo. At the market you can also find tuna products and typical Sicilian products including spices and seeds, but also colourful fruit and vegetable stands, with local quality products, from Marsala’s countryside. At sunset, the Old Market turns into a meeting place and entertainment for the young people, where to drink a good glass of wine or a cocktail accompanied by live music and DJs. Fruit stalls and fish stools leave place to small bistros and wine bars that come alive next to each other, allowing guests to spend a different evening away from boredom. In the summer months the Old Market is open every night except Sunday; while in spring and autumn, Pubs and Lounge Bars open only weekends and usually remain closed from January to March. THE CUISINE It is hard to speak of a single Sicilian cuisine as the food culture of the island has created a very varied basket which differs by moving just a few kilometres. Marsala especially boasts a rich culinary tradition thanks to the different dominations over the centuries: Greeks, Arabs, Normans and Spaniards; traces of each of these can be found in the main local dishes. Among the specialties: • Rotisserie and street food: Arancine, Panelle, calzones and pizza rianata • Fish Cous Cous • Dishes with aubergines including caponata and aubergine parmigiana • Pasta with sardines, Busiate sauce, Pasta with Matarocco • Macco di fave • Cottage cheese and fresh sheep cheese such as Tumma and Primosale • Sarde a Beccafico or allinguate • Desserts: Cassata, Cannoli, Cappiddruzzi, Cubbaita, Spinci, Pignolata, Martorana fruit, Mustazzoli, almond sweets • Fruit: grapes, figs and prickly pears in the three different varieties yellow white and red, oranges, lemons, pomegranates, melons, strawberries and wild strawberries MARSALA WIND AND SPORT Whether it is Maestrale, Ponente, Libeccio or Scirocco, not a day goes by without wind in Marsala. The wind rose here is complete and athletes certainly know it. Marsala, in fact, is the perfect place for those who practice sailing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. From the beaches of the south to the island of Santa Maria, it’s not difficult to meet a group of sailing boats competing in the stretch of sea off the city centre, the sky speckled wings of kiters, or the sails of windsurfers whizzing along the fourteen kilometre coastline from north to south. The mix of sun, wind, mild weather and the conformation of the territory, have transformed the city of Marsala in time into the ideal place for those who want to enjoy all types of sailing sports. A few kilometres from the historic centre you will find, the Rowing Club and the Navy League who play a leading role, here regattas are frequent and you can stop to watch the small sailing boats challenge at the Boeo promenade and with the Egadi Islands in the background you get the impression that you are admiring a beautiful painting. When the wind blows softly, Marsala’s inhabitants and tourists go along the waterfront for a run or an afternoon walk during sunset. But when the wind howls however, Marsala changes face. Great for windsurfing, thanks to the thermal winds that blow throughout the year, the shallow water that’s never more than two meters deep and a mild climate all year round, the Lagoon is the ideal spot for those who want to enjoy surfing in confidence and freedom. The Lagoon is not just windsurfing but a perfect spot for all levels of Kite, thanks to its shape, it allows riders to improve their level or to learn in complete safety this adrenalinic sport. Its exposure to the winds make it a magical spot, especially in the months from May to September when it blows timely and constantly up to 30 knots. Here the landscape changes radically, dozens and dozens of sails colour the sky, in a lagoon protected from the smaller islands (Mothia, Isola Lunga, Santa Maria and Schola) and sister islands (Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo) in the background. The performance of the kiters with their jumps and evolutions animates a gentle and relaxing landscape made of piers and salt piles. Over the past decade, thanks to the influx of kiters, many Kite schools have opened meeting all the needs of beginners to experts. There is not only wind in Marsala. The flat land is ideal for cycling and Marsala on two wheels is an experience to be lived. Squares, churches, monuments, historical wine cellars, are easily reached by bike and in the alleys you can stop at kiosks to sample the Street Food that ranges from Panelle sandwich to fried fish, from rianata pizza to arancine, from ice cream to lemon or black mulberry granita. Marsala will never cease to amaze.
