In 1937 “Instituto” began to operate, studying the hydrobiology, the  sponges and fisheries of the Aegean sea and hosting an aquarium with  interesting species of the marine fauna of the Mediterranean.

Designed by Armando Bernabiti, the building combines local with Art  Deco architectural elements of curved lines and circular windows, along  with a dominant cylindrical tower. The decoration of the main entrance  was inspired from the marine environment. The Aquarium consists of a  corridor, with small tanks that host marine species and it is  made of  stone and decorated with natural shells, featuring an underwater cave,  while the floor is paved by white and black pebbles, featuring marine  species.

The Greek Ministry of Culture has characterised Hydrobiological  Station of Rhodes’ building as an historical landmark and a  distinguished sample of “Eclecticism” and "International" architectural  style.
