Marzamemi is one of Sicily's prettiest seaside villages. It was the Arabs of the 10th century who put Marzamemi on the map and they also built the original tonnara (tuna processing plant), which was to become one of the most important on the island. The Tonnara of Marzamemi, is one of the oldest and most important Sicilian tuna factories. For private and public events, the Loggia and the courtyard of the Palace of the family Bonaccorsi Princes of Reburdone are available. Although the tonnara itself is no longer in function, Marzamemi continues its artisanal fishing and processing activities, producing all manner of delicacies. The old centre of the village, most of which dates back to the mid-18th century, is situated on a little promontory and organised around the extremely picturesque Piazza Regina Margherita and a series of charming buildings and a row of fishermen's houses.
