Journey to the Marsala Museum. Visit with the archaeologist between myth and archaeology.

Marsala is not only wine and sunsets: it is also the custodian of a millennial history rooted in myth and Punic civilization. For those who wish to have an authentic cultural experience, ArcheOfficina offers a guided tour of the Baglio Anselmi Regional Archaeological Museum, located in a picturesque location on the Capo Boeo waterfront, where the sea meets history.

Accompanied by an experienced archaeologist, participants will be taken on a fascinating journey to discover Lilybaeum, ancient Marsala, through unique artifacts and engaging stories. The museum tour includes:

• The world’s only famous Punic wreck of a Carthaginian warship dating back to the First Punic War. A true archaeological treasure that testifies to the naval strategies and construction technologies of the time.
• A rich collection of ceramics, epigraphs, mosaics, and objects of daily use that tell the story of urban life, religious practices, and trade relations in the ancient city.
• Insights into the historical topography of Lilybaeum, with focus on necropolis, domus and urban transformations between Punic, Roman and Byzantine ages.

The museum, housed in a former 19th-century baglio, also offers unparalleled views of the sea and the Stagnone Islands, making the visit a multisensory experience between archaeology and landscape.
