This giant public aquarium is the most visited attraction in Portugal, and is well known throughout the world as one of the most prestigious aquariums. The Oceanarium comprises two buildings, the Oceans Building and the Sea Building. They are interconnected by a large, open court in the front that displays a beautiful 55-thousand tile panel. Its permanent exhibition features 8,000 sea animals in almost 1.3 million gallons of salt water, with four marine habitats represented.
