    Surely nice on a rainy day, but it was too nice out to venture inside, prefering to enjoy the 17th century former palace with the sun setting on it.

    This is an excellent maritime museum in a lovely building called the Gabrielli Palace that was built in the mid-19th century and comes complete with creaky wooden floors. The museum is named in honour of a Slovenian naval commander whose ship was blown up off the Croatian coast in WW1. The museum collection starts with archaeological remains of pots and glassware found along the coast that date from the Neolithic, Bronze and early Iron ages. There are also Roman remains and other artefacts that are displayed under a glass floor. The museum also charts the history of salt making and fishing in the area and has several beautiful large model ships in the Gabriel Gruber collection. There is also an extensive collection of general maritime history in the form of furniture, uniforms, pictures, photos, documents, medals and naval equipment. More pictures can be found in one of my travelogues.

    Open: 9am-12pm & 3-6pm daily except Mondays Sept-June. 9am-12pm & 6-9pm daily except Mondays July & Aug. Admission: 800SIT.
