At the northwestern tip of Sicily, almost in front of Marsala, the sea forms a lagoon called Stagnone bordered to the west by the Isola Lunga and to the east by the Sicilian coast. The island of San Pantaleo, site of the Phoenician colony of Mozia (Mothia), stands in the middle of the lagoon.
The museum of Mozia, entitled to Giuseppe Whitaker, is located in a building that was his residence on the island. It includes artifacts from historical Whitaker Collection and from the excavations carried out by the Superintendence of Western Sicily (later Superintendence of Trapani), La Sapienza university in Rome, University of Leeds, University of Palermo, the C.N.R. and University of Bologna.
