Venetian arsenal, Gouvia

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, with the fall of the Venetian Republic.

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.
