Comacchio salt mine, Nature reserve in Comacchio, Italy.

The Salina di Comacchio spans across the Po Delta Park, featuring salt basins and marshlands that attract numerous migratory bird species throughout the year.

Salt production in Comacchio dates back to ancient times, with the site falling under control of the Republic of Venice and later the Papal States.

The Red Tower, constructed in the sixteenth century by Duke Alfonso I d'Este, stands as a symbol of the region's salt production heritage.

Visitors can explore the reserve through guided tours with audio guides in English or German, requiring advance reservations via email at cea@cadf.it.

The salt basins provide a nesting ground for flamingos, herons, and cormorants, creating opportunities for wildlife observation and photography.
