The tonnara of Scopello was built in the XIII century. Here sea and history meet in a unique beauty.
It was enlarged and modified several times over the centuries, reaching its maximum splendor and importance under the Florio family. After 1962 the catch continued to decrease due to the scarce presence of tuna in the whole Mediterranean. In the 80s, after the last slaughter, the tonnara was used exclusively for biological experiments.
Today the tonnara of Scopello can be visited every day until 7 pm and has become a luxurious resort where the old fishermen's houses have been used as holiday apartments. By paying an entrance ticket of just 4 euros, you can visit the old warehouses and a small museum with a guided tour, bathe in this magical place and enjoy an exceptional panorama. Here the stacks of Scopello emerge proud from the blue waters.
