The Sea Museum of Galicia has one of the most complete permanent exhibitions related to fishing and the sea, as well as some other temporary exhibitions. This impressive building was designed by Italian architect Aldo Rossi, who imagined a beautiful building in the place of an old tinned food factory in Alcabre. He passed away before it was completely built and the project was finalised by Galician architect César Portela. It is an architectural wonder worth visiting even just to get lost in its vertiginous triangular shapes. Additionally, this museum has a small aquarium containing the main ecosystems of the area between the harbour and the cliff-lined coast of the Cíes Islands.
