Museum of salt-making

It encloses 3 renewed buildings, one of which has been reconstructed into a salt-pan house with a museal collection and salt-pool with its appertaining seawater conduit channel (Giassi). The salt-pan house consists of a two-storeyed building, which once served as a residence of the salter’s family and for the storage of salt, the former ground floor warehouse in which salt was kept, and in compliance with the old pattern reconstructed baker’s oven, a special feature of the Sečovlje salt-pans.
