COMPLESSO SAN PIETRO

A stone's throw from the cathedral, the museum is housed in a Benedictine monastery dating from the 16th century (1516), built by the Benedictines on the ruins of a 596 building in the centre of the Jewish quarter of Marsala. Restored after the damage caused by the bombings of the Second World War, it houses an archaeology section and a museum dedicated to Garibaldi, the story of a myth, costumes, portraits of the 1,000 soldiers of the 1860 landing. There is a café with a pleasant terrace in the enclosure. The inner courtyard is used as a summer theatre.
