Saline di Priolo, Regional nature reserve in Priolo Gargallo, Italy.

Saline di Priolo is a protected nature reserve on the Sicilian coast near Syracuse covering around 55 hectares. It contains salt flats, wetlands, Mediterranean scrub, and dune areas that together create different habitats for wildlife.

The area became protected in 2000, transforming former salt production lands into a nature reserve. This conversion created an important refuge for resident and migratory bird species.

The name comes from the salt production that once shaped this landscape. Visitors can observe how the salty waters support a distinctive community of plants and animals adapted to these particular conditions.

The reserve has birdwatching hides and a trail equipped for visitors with disabilities, plus educational boards and a natural history library at its headquarters. LIPU guides lead field workshops and guided tours. A recent extension gives access to the Roman-era monument known as Guglia di Marcello.

In 2015 the salt flats hosted the first breeding colony of greater flamingos recorded in Sicily. The reserve also won the national "Most Beautiful Oasis in Italy" award from the birdwatching association EBN Italia in 2008. More than half of Sicily's bird species and about 40% of Italy's have been observed here.
