The Arsenal of Ferrol

The Arsenal is an 18th century naval base that still houses warships in its docks. The Spanish Navy equips and maintains these warship, which are no longer made of wood but of iron and cutting-edge technologies.
We highly recommend a visit to the Arsenal, a place where history and modernity go hand in hand. If we take a walk through the facilities, we will see the most modern vessels of the Spanish Navy in a 250 year-old building, well-kept and running at full capacity, along with weapons such as missile launchers and pirate cannons.
