The origins of Trapani are linked to its geographical conformation and mythological legends, but the first historical traces date back to the Elymians, a people who settled in western Sicily before the eleventh century BC.

The city then became an important commercial port under the Phoenicians, thanks to its strategic position, and over the centuries it was a fundamental center for the Romans, Arabs (who called it Itrabinis) and Normans.

A legend has it that the god Cronus (or Saturn, in the Latin tradition) lost his scythe while moving away from Sicily and, falling into the sea, the scythe turned into the peninsula of Trapani, hence the Greek name Drepanon, which means sickle.
