Cesenatico is one of few Italian towns that offer the possibility to visit an open air museum. The museum is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it is absolutely free of charge.

The Sea Museum is situated on the waters of the canal harbour of Leonardo. It boasts the collection of 10 amazing watercrafts of the Adriatic maritime tradition such as the Bragazzo, the Bottara, the Trabaccolo and the Topo.
The watercrafts that once floated on the waters of the Adriatic Sea nowadays are exposed still perfectly floating, renewed and embellished by stunning colorful sails.

The Sea Museum becomes even more admirable in December when on the watercrafts a Nativity Play is exhibited, which renders Christmastime in Cesenatico really special.

On the quay of the canal harbour an overland version of  the museum can be found. In a welcoming building an amazing collection of objects of the maritime tradition is exposed that together with multimedia contents will let you know more about the sea and fishing.
