Ex stabilimento Florio delle tonnare di Favignana e Formica, Archaeological museum in former tuna factory, Favignana, Italy.

The Ex Stabilimento Florio exhibits industrial architecture with large stone arches, high ceilings, and extensive facilities spread across the waterfront complex.

The Florio family purchased the facility in 1874, transforming it into a leading Mediterranean tuna processing plant that operated until the late 1970s.

The museum presents the traditional mattanza tuna fishing methods through multimedia exhibits, antique equipment displays, and historical film presentations.

Located at Via Amendola 29, the museum opens daily from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The facility contains original steam cooking equipment invented by Vincenzo Florio that revolutionized tuna preservation methods in the 19th century.
