The idea of building a salt pan in Ulcinj dates back to the 1920s, when the city had serious problems with malaria and mosquitoes due to the numerous floods. At that time the Adriatic coast was already being explored and the most suitable place for the construction of the salt pan was sought. The Margherita di Savoia salt pan, located in front of Ulcinj but on the other side of the Adriatic, was taken as an example, and in 1935 its first collection began. La Salina actively participated in all the activities of the city, capital investments and minor projects and contributed to the civil development of this area.
The Ulcinj salt mine, Solana, is an ideal example of the synergy between economic use of space (salt production) and nature conservation. 
Yet, in 2014, after 80 years of activity, Solana stopped producing salt and has since become a place of survival for birds in this area. Solana is one of the ten largest and youngest salt flats in the Mediterranean and today records 114 plant species and 250 bird species. Its specific importance in the AIDA project was to examine how in its being in Ulcinj it was conceived as in Puglia and, therefore, how the two lands are absolutely close, both in terms of economic development and as a culture of the places.Field Research was also carried out in this space.
