Ferrol Naval Base

The Arsenal of Ferrol extends across a strategic location at the entrance of the port, featuring multiple docks and modern maintenance facilities for naval vessels.

The naval base was established in the 18th century under King Felipe V's naval policy, with construction beginning in 1750 following designs by Jorge Juan.

The Naval Museum within the base displays maritime artifacts, artillery pieces, and nautical instruments that represent Spanish naval engineering through centuries.

Access to the naval base requires prior authorization, and visitors must follow specific security protocols when entering the military installations.

The base contains a dock system capable of accommodating 70 warships simultaneously, making it one of Spain's largest naval maintenance facilities.
