Museo della Mandorla Siciliana

Mediterranean Coast


Located in a restored Favara mansion, this interesting museum showcases the importance of the humble almond to Sicily. Exhibits are well labelled in both Italian and English, and there's an excellent onsite shop selling gourmet food products sourced from the surrounding region. Call ahead a few days prior to arrange cooking classes (per person €100) in the museum's well-equipped kitchen.
