Just steps from the Punta Spadillo lighthouse, the Pantelleria Geo-Naturalistic Museum, housed in a former military facility, tells the island’s volcanic origin and the deep connection between nature and human presence. Inside, over 50 rock specimens representative of the main eruptive phases are on display, accompanied by educational panels illustrating the local geology. The museum’s location—surrounded by lava flows and overlooking the sea—allows direct observation of the geological features that characterize the island, making it a center for scientific and environmental outreach.
