Marinella of Selinunte

After Triscina, Marinella is the second most-famous seaside tourist resort in Castelvetrano. The inhabited area, founded at the end of the nineteenth century, lies about 13 kilometres away from the centre on a long sandy coast situated between the mouth of the river Selino and the small harbour east of Marinella. Born as a fishing village, today it focuses predominantly on tourism. The only remaining legacies are the small fishing vessels that are now at the service of visitors and the fish auction that takes place every morning at 8 in Piazza Empedocle.
