Back Arsenal vénitien de Gouviá French Arsenale veneziano di Govino Italian Венеційський арсенал (Гувія) Ukrainian
The Venetian arsenal at Gouvia was a shipyard built by the Republic of Venice during their rule over the island of Corfu. It was located on the west side of what used to be called "Govino Bay",[1] the current location of the modern village of Gouvia.
The arsenal was built in 1716 as part of defenses against the Ottomans.[2][3][4][5] It was abandoned by the Venetians in 1798, when the Venetian Republic ceased to exist.
In 2017, the regional director of the Ionian Islands approved the sum of €500,000 for the "rehabilitation and promotion of the Venetian arsenal at Gouvia". These projects are the first for the Ionian Islands for the 2014-2020 fiscal year and they are funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Greek government.
On 22 May 2016, to celebrate the restoration of lighting to the monument, the local cultural agency of Gouvia and the Greek Society for the Environment organised a concert at the arsenal where the Philharmonic Society of Corfu "Mantzaros" and the German choir "Dinkelsbühler Knabenkapelle" from Neumarkt, Germany performed marching songs.
