The Aquarium is hosted inside the Fort Vedulla, built by Austria-Hungary in 1886. In 1918, the fort was obtained by Italy; it was occupied by Germany in 1943 and then awarded to Yugoslavia two years later. From the 1950s, it was demilitarised and used as a hotel, then abandoned in the late 1980s until being made into the aquarium in 2002. Fort Vedulla is located in the residential and tourist neighborhood of Verudela, on the Punta Verudelu peninsula, where there are numerous beaches. Gallerion is an exhibition about the fleet of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was based in the city's port.
