Trapani - Museo Regionale Pepoli

 
The Santuario dell'Annunziata in Trapani forms part of the Carmelite abbey which was secularized in 1866. It has a beautiful cloistered courtyard dating from 1650 and a wide stairwell from 1639. It now houses the Museu Regionale Pepoli, founded in 1908, and includes collections once owned by the Bourbon minister G. B. Fardella and Count Pepoli of Trapani, as well as items from the abbey.
