Museo nazionale di archeologia subacquea

The museum occupies a former school building on Lungomare Nazario Sauro, featuring exhibits of maritime artifacts recovered from the Adriatic Sea.

The institution originated in 1986 following the discovery of a third-century Roman ship named Julia Felix, which became central to the museum's collection.

The facility includes a specialized library of underwater archaeology and maintains an archive of archaeological data from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.

The museum, funded with 10 million euros, requires advance reservations for guided tours and operates with seasonal visiting hours.

The museum houses the remains of the Julia Felix vessel in an external chamber, though water infiltration has affected the preservation of this ancient ship.
