Overview
The Walls of Tramontana are what remains of Trapani's ancient city walls that follow the curvilinear profile of the city's hemmed coastline. Today, they represent the opportunity for a pleasant walk on the sea that starts from the square of the ancient fish market, passing through the Fortino di Sant'Anna fort or the Imperial ramparts, built by Charles V of Habsburg in the early 1500s, up to the
Tower of Ligny, erected in the 17th century to defend the city, open towards the sea. Today it houses a civic museum, but reaching it at sunset is worth the walk: the spectacle of the sun engulfed by the sea is more impressive here than anywhere else. Along the walk, you will encounter a few places that are ideal for a break, and you will come across some narrow streets leading to the centre.
