THE SALT MUSEUM
The museum is of fairly recent construction. Professor Francesca Pellegrino, whilst visiting a group of students became enchanted with an old salt house neat the Chiusicella salt mine belonging to the Culcasi family.
She proposed the creation of a museum to demonstrate the old traditions of the salt mines. Thus, in 1986, the Salt Museum in Nubia was founded.
The old house was renovated and furnished with the typical tools of the salt maker: spades, sledge-hammers, baskets, ropes and wheelbarrows.
The museum is in Nubia and can be reached by following the 2km long road which connects Trapani with Nubia and which continues all the way to Marsala. A cycle lane has been recently constructed along this road.
