"At the heart of Palermo's port, the Bourbon Arsenal bears the coat of arms of Spain's King Philip IV, who commissioned it as a shipbuilding factory in 1630. Naval ships were made here for centuries; Horatio Nelson even lived in the arsenal for a time around 1800. The restored building is now a maritime history museum, displaying intricate scale models of galley ships, along with cannons and other maritime artifacts."
