Tecnomare S.p.A. Reviews

The Arsenal of Venice is an ancient complex of shipyards and workshops that constitutes a very large part of the island city of Venice, at its eastern end. It was the heart of the Venetian naval industry from the 12th century and is linked to the most flourishing period of the life of the Serenissima: thanks to the imposing ships built here, the Venetian Republic managed to oppose the Ottomans in the Aegean and to conquer the routes of northern Europe .

Thanks to its organization, the arsenal of Venice has anticipated the modern concept of factory by a few centuries, understood as a production complex in which specialized workers execute in succession the individual assembly operations of a product, along an assembly line and using standard components . It represents the most important example of a large production complex with a centralized structure of the pre-industrial economy. [1] The surface covers an area of 48 hectares [2] (15% of the surface of the city [3]), while the number of workers (the arsenalotti) reached, in the periods of full productive activity, the average daily quota of 1500-2000 units (with a peak of 4500-5000 registered in the Book of workers), that is from 2% up to 5% of the entire city population of the time (about 100,000 inhabitants).

The complex is the only example of shipyard and arms factory that has always maintained the same nature and the same function, for seven centuries, even after the decline of the Republic of Venice. [4]

Beautiful architecture, unfortunately you cannot visit the whole Arenal, but I liked the place.

One of the wonders of Venice, often forgotten by many. It allows you to breathe the grandeur of what was the Serenissima like other parts of the city.

once the epicenter of the most beautiful and powerful fleet in the Mediterranean. The origin of the Lions when he entered are a testimony

One of the infinite wonders of Venice. From here started one of the most important missions in European history, which led to victory in the battle of Lepanto. Every corner is full of history and stories.

A picturesque place with history. There must not be a bustle because it all falls on the better known places crashes. At 1 Spritz we enjoyed this place for a long time

Interesting place from the outside, but unfortunately we will not go inside, we can only visit on certain days.

Wonder at sunset with a spriz sipped at the corner bar

Nice place without many tourists. Rare thing for Venice

Interesting walk around the back streets of Venice without the tourist crowds. Love the postboxes!

To be seen. Viewed externally. Quiet and uncrowded area.

Very lively district of Venice with its linen windows on Sunday but also historic district
It's also very calm if you want to get away from the crowd

Wonderful!. Shame entry with guided tour by reservation cmq nice! ...

Its portal decorated with antique statues is a must in Venice! Attention, do not visit!

Just standing on the bridge and taking beautiful photos is a lasting event

beautiful superlative incredible the set of towers, the Cyclopean lions, the couple of towers, the dock, the fortified walls, everything appears as often narrated in epochal stories and scenes from films of other times while the visitor is dragged emotionally at the time of the historic Doges of Venice ...
.

Nice for taking pictures, but not really a great sight.

Loved the architecture it definitely a place to visit in Venice.

Not very interesting place, unless you have more than 3 days in Venice, you would have other much better place to visit.

I remembered it the same, they should make it accessible to the public ..

Not all guarding lions are in good health. One of them is extremely malnourished :-(.

It's hard to say fantastic: Arsenal has been for centuries the heart of the naval power of the Republic of Venice, unique in its ability to face the Turkish invasion by sea; capable of turning out two three warships a day, it was an example of ante litteram industrialization

It represents an important part of the history of Venice

A wonderful place that has yet to be fully discovered and made available to citizens and visitors

Quiet neighborhood after the chaos of piazza s. Marco. An oasis in the city. Arsenal not open to visitors.

Very nice, even if it presents a find of dubious origin ...

The Venetian Arsenal (Italian: Arsenale di Venezia) is a complex of former shipyards and armories grouped in the city of Venice, northern Italy. State-owned, the arsenal was responsible for most of the naval power of the Venetian Republic in the middle of the second millennium AD. It was one of the first large industrial enterprises in history

The original place. Built with the mind. But the scope is too small. Not for our fleet.

Byzantine shipyard founded in 1104, today used for cultural events, exhibitions & trade fairs.

Nice museum right price, many rooms and well structured

Very beautiful. The whole area is very nice, very well kept.

Beautiful place of memory, of works now abandoned, passed. Immense spaces, traces of ancient works, which now support the Architecture Biennale. We move from the corderie, to the brim, to sheds of other works, now locations of state installations and different designers, who interact with the places.

It is an historical place in Venice that hosts Biennale and some parties during the year. It has a nice view.

Interesting way of showing the Boat industry with history and art.

Exciting and overwhelming place. Here you can feel the glory of past times

Very interesting, somber and reflective place. Go there on a rainy day

Beautiful all the neighborhood, we did not enter, but on the outside very beautiful

It is a part of the history of Venice. It must absolutely be visited, you can breathe romantic notes of other times and a lot, a lot of history.

Evaluate the Arsenal?
Impossible ! The Arsenale is the history of Venice: unique!

Fantastic. All the structural complex, the canals, the dock and the two immense marble lions, the towers and the fortification give an unusual solemnity. The excellent night lighting exalts the fortress with fantastic colors. Absolutely to visit late at night to enjoy the outdoor complex without crowds.

Special place and well organized top level security

Every time I go to Venice I know a different place, very well preserved

A marvel of Venice. To see absolutely. (And those who complain that you can't enter, duh, it's a military zone!)

A great place. Taste for people who liked the movie Tourist with Angelina Jolie :)
