With rows upon rows of elegant arches, the disused Venetian Arsenal at Gouvia is merely a shell of its former glory. Yet even with just the backbone, the Venetian Arsenal makes for a scenic trek where you can marvel at the keystone inscription on the entrance gateway or admire the stunning architecture that remains.

The Venetian Arsenal becomes even spookier, yet more spectacular, at night when ground-level spotlights illuminate the pillar arches in a white glow that juxtaposes against the black sky. On lucky nights, you may find the ruins completely transfigured into a stage for live bands and orchestras, where the grave arches form a quirky backdrop that is at odds with the loud multi-coloured lights. Sit back and revel in the music in what was formerly a service station and ship storage. Be it a calm walk through the grass, or a wild night at a concert, the Venetian Arsenal at Gouvia offers a unique flavour to the colourful island of Corfu.
