Surroundings
The archeological site of Phoenician Motya on the island of Mozia, the wine town of Marsala, the exquisitely preserved medieval, hill-top town of Erice, the bustling port of Trapani and the fascinating islands of the Egadi archipelago.
This tiny island just off the coast north of Marsala was once the home of the Phoenician colony that was expelled in 379 BC and founded Lilibeo (Marsala).
The island of Mozia, which is owned and operated by a foundation established by the winemaking Whitaker family (who built the Anglican Church and Villa Malfitano in Palermo), has a remarkable museum and the ruins of an equally remarkable civilization, complete with a harbor and cemetery. Mozia and its unique museum provide the visitor with a rare unspoiled glimpse into Sicily's Phoenician past.
Mothia itself was founded before 700 BC on the island now known as San Pantaleo in a large lagoon ("Stagnone").
