Audio Guide 

This is a city within a city. The quickest way to see it all is to take the motorboat to the stop outside the naval history museum and head towards Fondamente Nuove. At present, there is little to see: partly because the large docks are walled off and partly because as they have been partially abandoned, it will appear to anuntrained eye as though there is nothing to see. The area used to be very technologically advanced - it was here that the whole of the Mediterranean was instructed in modern methods of shipbuilding. Note the marble lions that guard the entrance: they were brought here from Pyrius in 1687.

There will be a number of international and national conferences on wooden vessels, and during the maritime exhibition, the national award for the best restoration will be announced. There are also some new features, such as painters of the sea and a second-hand wooden boat market. Contact the venue for more details.
