Museo Naval de Ferrol
Maps, ship models and navigational instruments in the Arsenal's old guardhouse.
The museum holds pieces from Spanish naval history: charts, navigation instruments, uniforms and ship models. The building, at the Arsenal gate, is part of the monumental ensemble.
It is a useful visit for understanding why Ferrol is the way it is. Check opening times first, as access depends on activity at the base.
