The Lago della Trinità (Italian for "Lake of the Trinity") is located in the Trapani Free Community Consortium in Sicily and is oriented almost from north to south. It is an artificial lake in the municipality of Castelvetrano , bordering the Mazara del Vallo area , to which it has a coastline of around 600 meters. In the far south, an approximately 250 meter long wall dams the lake, which is fed from the north.

The earth dams were built in the second half of the 1950s. The water is used for the drinking water supply of the communities of Campobello di Mazara , Mazara del Vallo and Castelvetrano. Due to the deforestation of larger forest areas in the upper reaches of the Delia and the associated soil erosion , larger areas of the northern section of the lake have already silted up, which has resulted in a limitation of the capacity.
