Tonnara di Marzamemi, Historic tuna processing facility in Marzamemi, Sicily, Italy.

The Tonnara complex includes three main entrances, processing sheds, fishermen's houses, and a stone-paved square facing the small harbor.

Built in the 17th century under Spanish rule, the facility was acquired by the Calascibetta barons in 1655 and later by the Nicolaci family.

The facility contains the Prince's Palace, the Church of Madonna del Carmelo, and residential structures that represent traditional Sicilian maritime architecture.

The restored complex now serves as an event venue, offering visitors the opportunity to explore Sicily's maritime heritage and fishing traditions.

The northern section features the last remaining chimney from the early 1900s tuna processing plant that survived World War II bombardments.
