CITY OF CERVIA - SALINA DI CERVIA - Ancora una volta
|
While in Italy, I visited the Saline of Cervia (solar salt work) again in 2007.
Many thanks to the citizen of Cervia for being so kind :-)

The 2 salt towers, left of the river going to the solar salt work, used to store salt in medieval times |
The salt halls, including the biggest salt tower in the back (both photos seen in direction of the harbor and the sea |
Today in the former salt halls there is a museum. This photo shows the shop signs some decades ago, where shop owners now only sold tobbacco, but also salt |
Closeup view of the main salt tower |
In the museum again: coins, which the salt worker received as salary back then |
Now we're heading to the harbour, just about 300 meters after the salt towers - still that narrow channel |
We're now back in the solar salt work again, just about 3km from the coast, in the visitor center, where Valerio (grazie per tutto il mio compare :-) shows all of the solar salt work in detail |
Now you're ready to go on a fieldtrip ? Sure we are :-) Here we are shipping down one of the many channels of the solar salt work to see some very nice things ;-) |
Hotel Ficocle, tiny building in the center: one of 5 remaining buildings of the Old Cervia - in 1697 they all moved, settled at
the place of todays Cervia, and demolished the old city. Reason ? As a tribute to God that he removed Malaria in 1697

Another beautiful sight to the center of the salina, to Hotel Ficocle, over the pools of the solar salt work
