Private Tour to the Arsenale della Repubblica, Amalfi

Step into the maritime heart of Amalfi with a private tour to the Arsenale della Repubblica, the ancient shipyard that once powered one of Italy’s greatest maritime republics. Located in the center of town, just steps from the seafront, the Arsenale offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into medieval naval power and the seafaring culture that shaped the Amalfi Coast. With Sorrento Limo, you’ll enjoy a seamless and comfortable experience from start to finish—designed entirely around your interests.

Why Visit the Arsenale della Repubblica?

The Arsenale della Repubblica is one of the last remaining medieval shipyards in southern Italy. Dating back to the 11th century, it was the naval production center of the powerful Maritime Republic of Amalfi. Today, this beautifully preserved structure is home to the Museo della Bussola e del Ducato Marinaro di Amalfi—a museum that brings to life the town’s nautical history and innovative spirit.

Highlights of the Arsenale include:

• Two massive stone-vaulted aisles where ships were once built 
• Historical displays of ancient navigational tools and maritime charts 
• Exhibits on Amalfi’s role in Mediterranean trade and law 
• A faithful reconstruction of a medieval Amalfitan ship 
• Rare documents including the “Tavola Amalfitana,” an early maritime code 

This cultural gem is a must-see for history lovers, maritime enthusiasts, and curious travelers who want to dive deeper into the story of Amalfi.
