We express our deep gratitude to Mr. Zuvanović. Also, many thanks to Professor Šeper, Croatian mathematician,
for his hospitality and for having taken us to such a wonderful place.
Rev. Željko Zuvanović is not only a great connoisseur of sea shells, but also of wines and cooking as well.
Rev. Željko Zuvanović has published several very interesting books. He is also a gifted writer and singer,
as well as a fine cook. We draw your attention to his luxorous book entitled The Beautiful Shells.
It is nice to see a priest with such a deep knowledge about the life and biology of sea shells.
We express our deep gratitude to the hospitality of rev. Željko Zuanović.
Giant shells, weighing about 150 kg each. This is very probably the most interesting collection of shells in Croatia.
