THE island's first maritime museum has been opened in the 13th century oratory of Santa Catalina in the port of Soller.
The initial cost of the project was 323'600 euros, and it was paid for by the Plan of Excellence in Tourism. The Council of Majorca refurbished the building, which was not intended to house a museum originally. However, the Council then conceived the idea of a network of maritime museums dotted around the island, and it was decided to incorporate the oratory into the scheme.
