Margherita di Savoia, Coastal municipality in Apulia, Italy.
Margherita di Savoia is a coastal municipality in Apulia with a long sandy beach along the Adriatic and large basins where seawater evaporates to produce salt. The town sits between the salt works and the sea, with low buildings and wide avenues leading to the water.
The place was originally called Saline di Barletta and was renamed after a royal visit in the late 19th century. Salt production began here in medieval times and continues to shape the local economy today.
The name honors Queen Margherita, who visited the thermal spa here and supported the local salt harvest. The town holds summer processions where residents carry religious figures through the streets and celebrate afterward on the beach.
Most visitors come in summer when the bathing establishments are open and the promenades come to life. The shallow water and gentle entry at the beach work well for families with small children.
The salt works cover a larger area than the inhabited center itself and attract thousands of migrating birds in spring, including flamingos. On some days the water in the shallow basins turns pink or orange due to algae and minerals.
