Medicean arsenals: they were built between 1548 and 1588 at the behest of Cosimo I and Ferdinando I de’ Medici, based on a project by Bernardo Buontalenti, on the area that temporarily housed the city's first botanical garden (1543). This was the building place of galleys, long war boats 40 to 50 meters long, with sails or oars. The large arcaded sheds were used progressively, starting with the assembly of the materials on the bottom, up to the launch of the ship in the Arno river. With the opening of the Livorno and Portoferraio shipyards, the activities ceased and in the Lorraine period the Medicean Arsenals were converted into stables for the Dragon knights, soldiers on horseback equipped with arquebus. Inside, the best horses were selected and the business continued with the kingdom of Italy. From here came the Adamello mules, made famous during the battle of 1918 between the Italian and Austrian forces in Lombardy, on the summit of the Adamello. Today the facility houses the Museum of Ancient Ships of Pisa.
