Pantelleria, Mediterranean island commune in Sicily, Italy
Pantelleria extends over 83 square kilometers between Sicily and Tunisia, featuring black volcanic rocks, steep cliffs, and thermal springs along its coastline.
The island served as a strategic military base during World War II until 1943, when Allied forces conducted extensive bombing campaigns on its installations.
The traditional stone buildings called dammusi, constructed with thick walls and domed roofs, represent the agricultural and architectural methods of local inhabitants.
Travelers reach Pantelleria through regular flights from major Italian cities or ferry services departing from Trapani and Mazara del Vallo ports.
The Specchio di Venere lake fills an extinct volcanic crater, containing mineral-rich waters and natural mud baths used for therapeutic purposes.
