Salt mill, Marsala, Sicily, Italy

Salt mill in Marsala by the Stagnone Lagoon, Trapani, Sicily, Italy. Ancient windmills and salt pans have been used in this area for centuries for evaporation, salt grinding and refinement, and to maintain the condition of the lagoon and its islands. The mills move water through sluice gates to maintain the lagoon, and the Stagnone Lagoon is now a nature reserve. Recently the mills and salt pans (Ettore and Infersa), have been restored by the owners and opened to the public. Picture by Manuel Cohen
