Malatesta Tower
The once magnificent castle of the Malatesta family, built by Sigismund Pandolf in 1437-46, has preserved to this day only a small central part, better known as the Malatesta Tower. Built in 1491 to defend against the Turkish invaders, it served as an observation tower from where local nobles watched the approach of pirates.
Le Navi Aquarium
The Cattolica Aquarium is the only one in all of Europe where visitors can come face to face with the most formidable inhabitants of the seas and oceans. And not only through glass, but also directly in their habitat: in a huge tank with 700 thousand liters of seawater. Here you can get acquainted with the unique representatives of the underwater worlds.
The Royal Cattolica Museum
In one of the oldest buildings of Cattolica — the former Pilgrim Hospital (built in 1584, the name is explained by the location on the road of pilgrims going to Rome) — there is a Royal Museum (Museo della Regina). The hospital was used for its intended purpose until 1839, when it turned into the barracks of the Papal Carabinieri.
The Royal Cattolica Theatre
The Royal Cattolica Theatre (Teatro della Regina) was designed by the famous architect Pier Luigi Cervellati in the form of a traditional horseshoe-shaped Italian theater. This elegant, ultra-modern building is distinguished by amazing acoustics, high-quality sound and other advanced technologies, which allows you to enjoy any kind of performances.
Cattolica Indoor Market
The indoor market, founded back in 1926 by Italo Balbo, is perhaps the most colorful attraction of Cattolica. Recently renovated, this charming bazaar complex offers tourists elegant stalls with fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood. There is a market at the top of the steps at Piazza Mercato.
