Trapani and Paceco, salt pans within the wetland network
Ramsar designation highlights the landscape’s international importance.
The regional environmental portal lists the Trapani and Paceco salt pans among Sicily’s wetlands of international importance, designated in 2017.
That status extends the story beyond scenic appeal. Water, human activity and habitats meet in one space. The balance deserves attention even when the landscape is usually represented through windmills and sunsets.
