WHAT ARE DAMMUSI

Typical island constructions, Pantelleria’s dammusi are the result of Arab civilization and the work of Pantelleria’s many farmers. The dammuso was born as a rural element and takes into account the peculiarities of this island: the wind, the heat, the scarcity of rainfall and the richness of lava material.

All the elements that characterize these constructions have a specific function. Domed roofs serve to channel rainwater into cisterns; thick walls, up to six feet thick, provide insulation against heat in summer and cold in winter; as do the small size of windows and doors.
