Key features
editThe aquarium has a summer camp for the children of Italians who formerly lived abroad. The renovations ended in June 2000, under the aegis of the Soprintendenza per i Beni Ambientali e Architettonici, which were intended to improve the aquarium's ties to history and sea traditions. The Aquarium is on an area of 110 thousand square metres, towards the sea, integrated in the urban texture of Cattolica. In the big garden (more than 49.000 square metres) one can find recreational areas, including restaurant, bar, shops, children entertainment, exhibitions, cultural and sport events.
