Phoenician Wonders in Sicily
By Linda Tancs
The ancient city of Motya (Mozia) was originally a Phoenician settlement occupying the island of San Pantaleo off the coast of Sicily. One of its most famous attractions is popularly known as the Motya Charioteer, a marble statue discovered in 1979 that dates from the ancient Greek Classical Period. It’s one of many ancient treasures you’ll find at the Whitaker Museum. Reachable by ferry, the closest train station served by the national service is Marsala. The ferry departure point is approximately 2 miles from the station.
