The city is located in the province of Trapani, very famous for Marsala, a liqueur exported all over the world. The name Marsala derives from Marsa Allah, a name given to it by the Arabs.<\/p>\n\n<p>The city was born from the union of the Phoenicians, who fled from Mozia after its destruction in 397 BC, the Elymians and the Sicans who already lived in this territory. The Lilibeo area corresponds to the point of Sicily closest to North Africa, it was in fact here that one of the most important Phoenician centers of the island was born. <\/p>\n\n<p>Just think that the defensive walls were up to 7 meters thick and were accompanied by a very large moat with a network of tunnels and secret passages. Despite this, after the end of the First Punic War in 241 BC, the city had to surrender to the Romans, who made it one of the main ports in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n<h2
