Tonnara Santa Panagia, Traditional tuna fishing facility in Syracuse, Italy.
The Tonnara Santa Panagia consists of stone buildings along the coastline, featuring processing areas and mooring spaces for fishing vessels.
The facility dates back to 1100 and operated under the Royal Chamber of Syracuse during Spanish rule before its privatization in 1655.
The facility employed up to 40 fishermen during peak seasons and included a chapel dedicated to Saint Lucy and a small grocery store.
The Tonnara remains accessible from Syracuse's center, though the structures currently stand in a deteriorated state awaiting restoration.
The last tuna fishing operations occurred between 1965 and 1970 to maintain the five-year license from the Port Authority.
