The ruins of the Venetian Arsenal at Gouvia, Kerkyra (Corfu) island, Ionian sea, Greece
The Venetian arsenal at Gouvia is a shipyard built by the Venetians during their rule of Corfu on the west side of what used to be called Govino Bay,[1] the current location of the modern village of Gouvia. The remains of the old arsenal still exist at the Bay of Gouvia,[2] and are located approximately 8 km from Corfu city.[3] The ruins are behind the modern marina of the port of Gouvia and are separated from it by an iron fence.[4][5] The Venetians used the bay as a port and their arsenal was built near the water.[6] The Venetian shipyard features three arched docks which were used to service their two fleets which were stationed in Corfu.[7] The columns, walls and arches of the arsenal survive almost intact but the roof is missing.[8](Source: wikipedia)
