Explore the incredible biodiversity of Italy's first marine-protected nature reserve in an immersive museum at the Scuderie del Castello di Miramare, the Biodiversitario Marino. Learn about the numerous animal and plant species that populate the Adriatic Sea by observing reconstructions of underwater reefs to sections of sandy seabeds, from dioramas of sea grasslands to life-size reproductions of over 150 organisms. Experience the sounds of the sea thanks to special acoustic stations and dive into the tunnel of the sea at night to be thrilled by the spectacle of bioluminescent creatures. Take advantage of the informative audio guide and enjoy engaging commentary and narration as you walk around the museum.
