The Mediterranean Architecture Center is located in the westernmost building of the 17-room complex of the Great Arsenal. Its construction began in 1585 by the magistrate Alvise Grimani, while the addition of the upper floor in 1872, during the period of Turkish occupation, marked a new era for the complex.
Over the centuries, the building hosted numerous significant public events. Today, after renovation in 2002, it has been transformed into an impressive space for exhibitions and cultural activities. The Mediterranean Architecture Center hosts art exhibitions, international events, and cultural programs, with particular emphasis on architecture, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the Mediterranean.
