In the heart of Peñíscola's historic centre, Museu de la Mar, the Museum of the Sea, invites you to discover the deep relationship between this town and the Mediterranean. Through three sections organised thematically into history and archaeology, fishing, and marine fauna, you will travel back through centuries of seafaring tradition in a unique space that culminates in aquariums brimming with life.

In this museum in Peñíscola, the Museum of the Sea, you will see archaeological pieces found on land and at sea, describing to you the importance of trade in the Mediterranean in ancient times.

You will also learn about what the sea trades were like, traditional fishing techniques and the boats that plied these waters. Let yourself be amazed by the collection of crustaceans, bivalves and other marine species native to the area.

The Museum of the Sea is a must-see in Peñíscola. It is the perfect way to round off your visit to this bright city that has grown up alongside a Templar castle.
