On the northwestern coast of Pantelleria, about 30 m above sea level, lies the Mursia archaeological complex, one of the best-preserved in the central Mediterranean. The village, inhabited between 1750 and 1450 BC (Advanced Early Bronze–Middle Bronze I and II), features an impressive dry-stone wall that once protected the proto-city. Just beyond stands the Sesi necropolis, large stone tumuli. Incised brown-gray pottery links the site to the Rodì-Tindari-Vallelunga culture, suggesting lively maritime exchanges with Sicily.
