Boats docked in the ancient Darsena area

When you walk from the Aquarium to the Galata Museum, you are walking in the Darsena.

The Factory of War

This was a restricted military zone. Here, the famous Genoese galleys were built, repaired, and armed.

  • Galley Slaves: It wasn't pretty. Thousands of oarsmen (captives and convicts) lived and died here.

What to see now

  • The Submarine: The Nazario Sauro is docked here.
  • The Crane: Old hydraulic cranes from the industrial age still stand along the quay.
  • The Vibe: It's quieter than the Porto Antico, popular with university students.
