- Downloadable Sicily: City Digital Audio Guide (English, Italian)

Just step inside the Regional Archaeological Museum Antonino Salinas to find yourself immersed in a path where stories, peoples, and civilizations intertwine with surprising ease. The galleries display Greek and Punic sculptures alongside ancient sarcophagi, while Phoenician artifacts recovered from the sea and Roman works rebuild the multifaceted narrative of Mediterranean Sicily. Everything unfolds with a smooth, almost storytelling rhythm that turns the visit into a pleasant journey rich in discoveries.

Among the most captivating highlights is the detailed reconstruction of ancient Selinunte, a kind of open window onto one of the island’s most imposing cities. As you move among statues and artifacts, the famous Palermo Stone emerges, a key document for deciphering the origins of Egyptian chronology. Your ticket includes access to the museum and a downloadable digital audio guide dedicated to Sicily, available in English and Italian, offering clear and accessible explanations throughout your visit.

- On 15 July, the Salinas Museum will be open from 09:00 to 13:30. Last admission is at 13:00
