Balio Gardens and Towers

This elegant public garden, in the English style, was created following the 19th-century intervention of Count Agostino Pepoli, who transformed the area adjacent to the Balio towers with the precise idea of creating an ‘enchanted garden’, a place of peace, reflection and contemplation of the surrounding landscape. From here, the view sweeps in different directions: from the Gulf of Trapani, meeting Mount Cofano, behind which one can glimpse the tip of S. Vito lo Capo. Vito lo Capo and, again, the port of Trapani and its salt pans, the Egadi Islands, the island of Mozia as far as Mazara del Vallo.
