Among the most important attractions we remember:
GEOPOLIS
Geopolis, our submarine institute, prepares us to the visit of the Aquarium showing us through monitor and images the place more main points and jewel of the whole structure "the Stabulario." Environments of job where our Acquaristis every day they take care of the fishes and theirs small among which the Pisces Clown, the Cardinal of the Molucches, the Sharks and delicate organisms as the Corals. Geopolis will show us the history of the planet and with it his/her biological evolution remembering today still us through some tubs the kinds survived after million of years the famous Living Fossils. The Sharks are among the most particular organisms that are shown to the public
ACQUAPOLIS
Your visit to Acquapolis will be a turn of the world under the surface of the water, departing from the Mediterranean Sea passing for the Atlantic ocean, Pacific and thin Indian to reach the splendid and many colored coral barrier of the Red Sea, populated by colored organisms. Here all the tubs of the Aquarium must be observed with great attention, above all those smaller, that minutely recreate different environments, rich of life and mystery. Sponges and corals are the more treasures hidden of our seas: being also anchored to the fund, the corals capture their preys thanks to the small polyps similar to of the flowers that escape from their skeleton. The aquarium becomes therefore not only a fascinating place where beauty shows the best of if, but an environment of observation and knowledge that it allows too far at times the man a great contact with this world.
