The sesi of Pantelleria are the funerary monuments of the community that lived in Mursia between 1800 and 1450 BC, i.e. in the Bronze Age.

They are unique monuments that do not find comparisons between the structures and rituals used in Sicily and in the Mediterranean. They are large mounds built in dry stone with various corridors and related cells where the deceased were placed together with grave goods. Distributed in the area around the village, just over 60 Sesi of various sizes are known today, from 4 to 20 m and with a number of cells from 3 to 12.
