Venetian Shipyard

Back in the 17th century and while the island of Corfu along with the other Ionian island belong to the state of Venice, the Venetians fortified the harbour of Gouvia and built a shipyard to maintain and repair their boats. At the same time of course they used to serve the needs of passing vessels.

The columns and vaults still remain today standing as a reminder of those long-gone years when the Serene Republic of Venice ruled the eastern seas.
