An example of incredible industrial architecture. with very high vaults of white tuff and pointed arabesque arches. I recommend the visit if you stay in Favignana. Everything is as it was then, from the "forest" where the tuna and the boats ready to go out to sea were hung, to the batteries of the tuna cooking tanks and the canning room. In the Turin pavilion, through a technological intervention, there are the voices of those who experienced the massacre.

A truly beautiful experience that brings you back 100 years when the tuna business was the main activity of the island. Guided tours are still not on and only thanks to Piera, who is a local guide there and run the extra mile spending time to explain us the full story of the family and how the different parts of the Tonnara worked, that we could fully appreciate the experience. It would have not been the same thing without her, especially for our children. Honestly a must see if you happen to be between Trapani and Marsala as this business shaped the local economy for so many years.

It is really worth visiting during a stay in Favignana and listening to the guide's explanations to get an idea of the life of the island, the people, the history... Very well kept. Cost: €10. If you want a combined ticket to also visit Palazzo Florio, the cost is €12, instead of €15 (10+5). You visit various environments, internal and external, and you can also hear testimonies from people who worked there (via video panels). There are also several black and white photos from the period. They open at 10; first guided tour at 10.30am (the visit lasts about an hour). The staff arrives just before 10am so there is no need to arrive earlier also because there is no roof or anything to shelter from the sun and if it is hot it is better to arrive at the right time.

Being a fan of the Florio family, I was very satisfied with the guided tour. The explanation was done in a very professional way, alternating historical anecdotes and curiosities about the Florio family, as well as the organization of the tuna fishery. An hour of organized tour, but you could stay longer without getting bored. At the end of the guided tour you can continue independently. I hope that the restoration work continues and that this heritage can always be maintained so well. Thanks to those who work there with so much passion.

A truly surprising experience... Thanks to exceptional recovery work, the former Florio factory has become yet another jewel of Favignana. The visit, thanks to the truly exceptional local guide, took us back to the times of both the splendor and the fall of a great empire. Personally, to this day I really appreciate the choice of materials and colors used during the restoration, because there is nothing that exceeds or dominates the other...everything displayed or described remains unique, without losing its importance and authenticity.

This is a meticulously restored tuna factor which belonged to the infamous Florio family. The exhibits include a film made in the 1930s of the tuna canning process from end to end. The most important part of the island's economy at the time. It is also a beautifully architected building!

Merita la visita! Fabio accompanied us in the history of the Florio and in the life of the island of Favignana made of tuna fishing. We made the 6pm visit which ended at 7.35pm. Time has flown.

My husband and I visited the trap and we loved it. The history of the Florios is very fascinating so the visit was a must. Our Guide, Mrs. Principality, was very good and kind. Recommendation to go absolutely. If you want you can make the single ticket with Casa Florio and save a few euros.

I visited with my family the Ex Stabilimento Florio and first of all I would suggest to those who go to Favignana on holiday not to miss this opportunity. It is an amazing interesting and unique place. I suggest to participate in one of the guided tours that are regularly organized at several times in the day. I was lucky enough to meet the Guide Fabio Solina who literally made the difference. Through his expertise and incredible ability to narrate the events of the Florio and Parodi we were able to enjoy an experience that we will always carry with us and will not forget. Visiting Favignana losing this experience would be a shame. Highly recommended!

It was like immersing yourself in history, from Punic battles to slaughter, life and work in the trap through the ages and the history of conservation, thanks to the Guide who explained everything very well. From now on eating a can of tuna will never be the same! Not to be missed
