Serviced Apartments in Trapani

A highly industrious little fishing port situated in Sicily and offering a most delightful location for a serviced residence or aparthotel. Trapani’s industries include tuna fishing and canning, marble and salt and you will find several delightful windmills dotted along the coast that were once used for grinding the salt. This job is done by machines these days so the old windmills are now redundant but add a lovely feature to this pretty town.

A stroll through the pedestrianized old town, a short walk from your Trapani service apartment or holiday letting, allows you view a wonderful collection of old palaces surrounding the Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Some are slowly falling into disrepair and others are just as grand and lavish as the day they were built.

Here you will also find the Cathedral di San Lorenzo, a 14th century structure boasting an 18th century facelift, and the lovely Chiesa del Purgatorio. This pleasing church houses 20 carved wooden figures known as the Misteri which are an important pat of this town’s heritage. Every year, on Good Friday, a procession takes place called the Processione dei Misteri Trapani which is part of the Holy Week celebrations. This involves each of the wooden figures or Misteri being paraded through the streets by the townsfolk dressed in ceremonial robes. This ancient tradition has been carried out since the early 1600s and can continue for many hours, in fact this event has been known to last longer than 24 hours so it’s no wonder it holds the record as Italy’s longest religious festival.

From your Trapani apartment rental or holiday let it’s also well worth taking a walk out to the Torre del Ligny. This tower was originally part of the town’s defence system and was built in the 1600s, it now houses an excellent Prehistoric Museum offering a thoroughly intriguing afternoon.
