Museum of the Sea in the Port of Sóller

The old chapel of the Oratorio de Santa Caterina de Alexandria, up on hill at the entrance of Sóller, is the home to the *Soller Museum of the Sea", which aim is to capture the long history and relationship of the village with the sea.

From the Medieval era, Sollerics used the sea as their way to communicate in order to avoid the Coll de Soller, a long and hard road going up and down the mountains which was until not sol oong the only way to go from Soller to any other area of the island.

The built boats which were used mainly for trading and commmerce with the rest of the island and the world, but also for fishing.

This long tradition has made Soller and the Port of Soller one the biggest remains of the sea history of Majorca. And now, at the Soller Museum of the Sea, they try to both keep track of this history by collecting remains and also promote and inform people about this close relationship between Soller and the Sea.
