Description and is it worth a visit
Maritime and Naval History Museum is located in an impressive historic building of the colonial period, which was restored one of the first after the civil war, but the collection itself is very modest.
On the ground floor there are three halls with models of ships, a stand with naval knots, insignia, and several antique cannons. The second floor is dedicated to the underwater life of coastal waters, but here visitors will not be surprised: there is only a collection of shells and corals, models of underwater inhabitants, and posters with information about the inhabitants in English.
In general, the museum is not very interesting and informative, so it is quite possible to miss it. You can drop in here, except if you pass by.
