Work on a careening basin from the 18th century
Frequently used by yachtsmen, this ashlar stone basin was built in 1730 to house the construction and maintenance of galleys under the Kingdom of Sardinia. 62 metres long and 12 metres wide, at that time it could accommodate ships of all sizes. During the Second World War, the basin was partially rebuilt after it collapsed due to bombing.
