The ancient salt warehouses stored up to 23,000 tons of salt.
Structures in bricks with powerful walls had to protect the precious good awaiting commercial distribution. They are interesting examples of industrial archaeology with an evocative structure similar to that of a cathedral with wide naves.
Up to the 1960s, they were connected by a conveyor belt that brought the salt from the burchielle (boats) to the interior of the warehouses for storage. Today, the tower warehouse is used for exhibitions meetings and cultural events. The interior is the permanent site of MUSA, the salt museum of Cervia.
