Campobello di Mazara is a pleasant town that arose in a rural environment. A symbol of legality and urban rebirth, a mural dedicated to Peppino Impastato, a journalist killed by Cosa Nostra in 1978, was inaugurated in Via Mare.

A visit to Porta Garibaldi in Marsala is like a leap into the past. This imposing city gate, which once served as the main entrance to the city, bears witness to the region's turbulent history. It was here in 1860 that Giuseppe Garibaldi began his legendary march with the "thousand" soldiers to unite Italy. When you walk through the gate, you feel the historical significance of this place. The fine stone carvings, the Latin inscriptions and the impressive coat of arms that sits on the gate are real eye-catchers. The saying "Dominus custodiat introitum et exitum tuum" - "The Lord guard your entrance and exit" - reflects the protective function of the gate. A walk through the gate takes you straight into the lively center of Marsala, where cafes and shops line the narrow streets. The portal acts like a time machine: as soon as you walk through, modern life opens up, but you still have one foot anchored in the past.

The Cathedral of Mazara del Vallo, the "Santissimo Salvatore", immediately captivates you. This mixture of Norman origins and baroque splendor was begun as early as 1086 and later redesigned in the baroque style in the 17th century. The sea-green domes give the cathedral a unique charm, especially when they shine in the light of the Sicilian sun. As you walk through the main square in front of the cathedral, you immediately notice how it is embedded in the surrounding architecture and yet stands out as a dominant monument. A highlight of the interior is the ornate carving and the detailed statues that recall the history of the city and its rulers. Particularly nice: The spacious, shady squares around the cathedral invite you to take a break in the shade of the palm trees. If you come in the afternoon, make sure you allow enough time for the visit, as the cathedral sometimes closes earlier.
