Palazzo Florio, 19th-century palace museum in Favignana, Italy.

The neo-Gothic palace features high ceilings, decorated balconies, and wrought iron details created by the Florio family's Oreta foundry.

Built in 1878 by architect Damiani Almeyda, the structure replaced Fort San Leonardo after Ignazio Florio Senior purchased the Egadi Islands in 1874.

The palace halls display Liberty style furnishings and host temporary exhibitions that showcase the maritime heritage of the Egadi Islands.

Located near the port, the building houses the Municipal Council, Public Library, Tourist Information Center, and a specialized shell collection exhibition.

Underground tunnels connected the main palace to I Pretti building, which contained kitchens, stables, and servants' quarters during the Florio family residence.
