The Purgatory Church in Marsala. The city is located on the west coast, just a little over a half-hour’s drive from Trapani. Marsala is a great place to stop for a day trip, or you can spend several days there. Attractions include the historic town centre with its shops, the salt pans, the island of Mozia, and numerous wineries. Outside the town, but not far away, you'll find the town of Mazara del Vallo and the Selinunte Archaeological Park.
