Public marine aquarium of Trieste, Marine aquarium in Trieste, Italy.
The aquarium contains thirty tanks on the ground floor displaying varieties of Adriatic marine life, including coelenterates, molluscs, crustaceans, and fish species.
Founded in 1933, the facility operates with an advanced water circulation system that draws seawater directly from the base of the pier through the clock tower.
The aquarium building combines Art Nouveau architecture with a bell tower, representing a central structure along the city's waterfront promenade.
Located at Molo della Pescheria 2, the aquarium welcomes visitors from 10:00 to 19:00 every day except Wednesday, with special rates for different groups.
The minimal water filtering system permits plankton and nutrients to enter the tanks, creating natural conditions that support spontaneous marine life growth.
