Marausa is a frazione of the comune of Misiliscemi. Before the creation of the comune, Marisa was part of the city of Trapani. It is located on the coastal road to Trapani airport, 8.7 km from the city of Trapani.
==History== The name seems to derive from the Arabic “Mara u zack." The "Torre di Mezzo" (Tower of the Middle), one of the coastal towers of Sicily, dates to the end of the 16th century and was in active use for military purposes from 1619 until last century.
