Lampedusa, Mediterranean island in Sicily, Italy

Located between Malta and Tunisia, Lampedusa extends 11 kilometers in length and 3 kilometers in width, with an elevation of 133 meters above sea level.

The island received substantial changes in 1843 when Ferdinand II of Naples established a colony, leading to permanent settlements and maritime development.

The traditional buildings called Dammusi, constructed from local red rocks, represent the agricultural heritage of Lampedusa's early inhabitants.

The island maintains regular ferry connections and flight services to Sicily, with accommodations concentrated near Via Roma, the central district.

Loggerhead sea turtles select Rabbit Beach as their reproduction site, where a dedicated recovery center provides protection for these marine creatures.
