Antonino Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum

The Antonino Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum, housed in the former Oratorian complex of San Ignazio all’Olivella, is Palermo’s clearest lens on Sicily as a Mediterranean crossroads. Named for archaeologist Antonino Salinas, it gathers Greek, Punic, Etruscan, and Roman finds from across the island, linking temple sanctuaries, cities, and tombs to the wider sea. Highlights such as the Selinunte metopes, Roman mosaics, and the Palermo Stone turn the museum into a compact history of power, ritual, and exchange.
