Housed in the shadow of the Aragonese Castle in the rooms adjacent to the Municipal Library, the Museum of Shells and Coral in Palmariggi preserves over two thousand specimens.\n\nComing from all over the world, with surprising sizes and bizarre shapes and colors, the shells are just one part of the exhibition, which also includes a section dedicated to sharks, various types of coral, and colorful madrepores.\n\nThe entire collection has been gathered over the years by Antonio Plati, founding member of the association \"Il Cedro del Libano,\" who also leads guided tours.
