Discover the Magic Christmas at the “Acquario di Cattolica”: Underwater Nativity Cribs and Many Special Events.
December is the month of festive emotions, and the Acquario di Cattolica is preparing to celebrate it with a series of special events for adults and children.
The Aquarium will open to the public on 7th and 8th December, every Sunday in December, and every day from 26th December to 6th January 2025.
During these openings, the Aquarium will offer an extraordinary spectacle with Christmas displays and fascinating characters that seem to have come straight out of a Christmas storybook.
Underwater Nativity Scenes: A Unique Interpretation of Christmas Tradition!
The evocative Underwater Nativity Scenes are back, representing an innovative and fascinating way of celebrating the Christmas tradition.
Among the works on display is ‘Christmas of the Sea’, a nativity scene created by master ceramist Maria Cristina Sintoni, displayed in the Aquarium’s large central tank. Here, majestic bull sharks swim around in 700,000 litres of seawater, creating a unique and breathtaking scenery.
