Greek Arsenal
The remains of the Greek Arsenal built at the time of the Tyrant Ierone II are still visible near the so-called “Porto Piccolo”, at the Via Arsenale. The structure functioned as a shipyard, in fact it was used to build and maintain the merchant and war boats used in the time of Hieron II including the warships (the so-called "Triremi") used in the battles against the Carthaginian military fleet
