Via Pepoli at the eastern end of the city is the former convent of the Carmelites, known as the Annunziata. The former convent of the Annunciation hosts the Pepoli Museum, who, for the richness and variety of its collections, is considered one of the most important museums of Sicily. The museum is subdivided into three main sections: Marble and stone; Paintings; Industrial arts. Recent renovations and reorganization have introduced sections Renaissance Sculpture and memories of the Risorgimento.
 
The ground floor is devoted to sculpture. The first floor houses the art gallery, which collects many precious paintings, the most notable are: the Pieta of the Neapolitan Roberto Oderisio (XIVsecolo) and a beautiful Madonna and Child with Angels by Pastura (1478 to 1509). Do not miss the artistic creations in coral (necklaces, sacred furnishings and depictions of the Nativity), which testify to the artistic quality achieved by the artisans of Trapani. The local pottery is represented by some beautiful tiled panels depicting the Mattanza and a view of Trapani (seventeenth century).
