Collection of Shells in Makarska

The center of Makarska is an old town with narrow stone-paved streets, a main church square where there is a flower and fruit market, and a Franciscan monastery that houses a sea shell collection featuring a giant clam shell. The collection of shells includes some spectacular specimens from the Adriatic, as well as beautiful shells from all over the world. There are about 3000 shells in the collection and a collection of invertebrate fossils.
