Ligny Tower (Torre di Ligny)

Built to defend against pirate raids, the Ligny Tower, or Torre di Ligny, stands as a squat quadrangular structure at the westernmost point of Trapani. Located at the end of a narrow strip of land, this restored watchtower houses the civic archaeological museum. When open, visitors can explore the museum’s exhibits and enjoy panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea from the top. The tower’s strategic location and historical significance offer a glimpse into the maritime history of the region.
