Legends & Stories of Sicily

Trapani – miasto bogów, czarownic, duchów i tajemniczych legend

Kiedy przyjeżdżasz do Trapani, widzisz przede wszystkim piękne morze, wąskie uliczki, stare kamienice, port i niesamowite zachody słońca. Ot, takie przyjemne sycylijskie miasteczko, w którym można pospacerować, dobrze zjeść i trochę odpocząć.

Ale jest coś, o czym większość turystów nie ma pojęcia.

Trapani ma naprawdę niezwykłe legendy.

I nie mówię tutaj o jednej czy dwóch historiach, które ktoś kiedyś wymyślił, żeby zainteresować turystów. Mówimy o opowieściach przekazywanych przez pokolenia. O bogach, czarownicach, tajemniczych stworzeniach, zaginionych skarbach, a nawet kobietach, które podobno opuszczały swoje ciała podczas snu.

Niektóre historie mają ponad dwa tysiące lat. Inne jeszcze sto lat temu były traktowane przez mieszkańców całkiem poważnie.

I właśnie te historie chciałbym wam trochę przybliżyć.

Bo okazuje się, że spacerując po Trapani, można nieświadomie przechodzić obok miejsc, z którymi związane są naprawdę niesamowite opowieści.

Historia Trapani

Demeter and the Barren Earth

Persephone Beneath Sicily

Erice, Sacred Mountain Peak

Czy zastanawialiście się kiedyś, skąd wzięła się nazwa Trapani i dlaczego miasto ma tak charakterystyczny kształt? Poznajcie dwie niezwykłe legendy z mitologii greckiej, których ślady można odnaleźć w Trapani do dzisiaj.

When Persephone vanished into the earth, the goddess Demeter wandered inconsolable across Sicily, and the harvests failed. Locals say the island's volcanic soil still carries the heat of her mourning.

Drawn by a field of narcissus near Enna, Persephone was spirited underground by Hades, splitting the year into seasons. Her annual return from the underworld remains Sicily's oldest explanation for spring.

Rising nearly eight hundred metres above Trapani, Erice has been a sacred peak since the Elymians built their first temple to Venus. Its stone alleys and perpetual mist give the town the feeling of a world between worlds.

The Salt Roads of Trapani

Demeter and the Barren Earth

Persephone Beneath Sicily

Erice, Sacred Mountain Peak

Perched between two seas, Trapani has guarded the ancient salt route for over two thousand years. Its windmills and rosy pans still mirror the sky at sunset, just as they did for the Phoenicians.

When Persephone vanished into the earth, the goddess Demeter wandered inconsolable across Sicily, and the harvests failed. Locals say the island's volcanic soil still carries the heat of her mourning.

Drawn by a field of narcissus near Enna, Persephone was spirited underground by Hades, splitting the year into seasons. Her annual return from the underworld remains Sicily's oldest explanation for spring.
