The Aquarium building was constructed in the old fort of Saint John the Baptist. The ruins of the fort were bought in 1998 by the Porto Moniz Municipal Council, which restored the fort to its original design, while its interior was adapted to its new function as an Aquarium.
The exhibition tanks display the various habitats of the Madeira marine world. The most impressive tank contains about 500,000 litres of salt water.
