fiogf49gjkf0d Out on something of a limb,
TRA?PANI
is an attractive enough town, though with little to keep you more than a day or two - more a stopover, perhaps, en route to the offshore A?gadi Islands
or inland to A?rice
. A rich trading centre throughout the early Middle Ages, halfway point for Tunis and Africa, TrA?pani has suffered years of decline since then, and today suffers from its remote position on Sicily's western tip, despite the revitalization of the huge salt pans to the south of town. Beyond the gridded streets of modern TrA?pani, however, its old centre still retains a busy feel, and there are a couple of museums worth checking out.
