Arsenali Medicei, Renaissance arsenal in Pisa, Italy.
The Arsenali Medicei features eight naves supported by large arches, designed specifically for ship construction along the Arno River bank.
Architect Bernardo Buontalenti designed this naval facility in 1540 under Cosimo I's rule to build galleys for the port of Livorno.
The structure now houses the Museum of Ancient Ships, displaying maritime artifacts and vessels discovered near Pisa San Rossore station.
The building underwent extensive restoration work starting in 2013, leading to the museum's opening in 2019 with regular guided tours.
Between 1544 and 1563, the arsenal's garden contained a university botanical garden known as Il Giardino dei Semplici.
