Museo Archeologico Baglio Anselmi
Museo archeologico regionale Lilibeo - Baglio Anselmi
An archaeological museum housed in a converted old seaside wine estate, displaying the world's only Punic warship wreck ever recovered from the sea
The museum occupies a 19th-century seaside wine estate (baglio) that has been converted into a museum. Its centerpiece is the remains of a Punic warship found on the seabed near Stagnone in the 1970s. It is believed to date back to the First Punic War and is the only known physical Carthaginian warship. The museum also displays sculptures, mosaics and tomb artifacts excavated from the ancient city of Lilybaeum, and the archaeological park lies right outside. Admission is about 4–6 euros. The museum is usually closed on Mondays. It sits on the headland west of Marsala's old town.
