Komiža Fishermen's Museum (Kaštel)

43° 2.6′ N · 16° 5.3′ E

The museum sits in the 16th-century Venetian tower on the Komiža waterfront and tells the story of the town's fishing fleet, including the falkuša, a long open boat built for the trips to Palagruža. Komiža calls itself the cradle of Adriatic fishing.

Practical

On the quay next to the berths. A restored falkuša is on show; three replicas still race in the Rota Palagružana.
