Favignana is the largest of the Egadi Islands, located off the western coast of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. The island, known for its distinctive butterfly shape, has a rich history dating back to ancient times when it was an important center for tuna fishing and processing.
The town of Favignana, the island's main settlement, is characterized by its traditional Mediterranean architecture and is centered around the historic Palazzo Florio, once home to the influential Florio family who developed the local tuna industry. The island's cultural heritage is deeply connected to the 'mattanza', the traditional tuna fishing ritual, though this practice has now ceased.
Today, Favignana preserves its cultural identity through its maritime museum, historic buildings, and continued celebration of its fishing heritage, while also being known for its limestone quarries which have left unique geometric cuts in the landscape.
