Anselmo Artime Fernández Shipyards

The Anselmo Artime Fernández Shipyards are one of the most representative examples of Luanco’s maritime and industrial heritage. The complex consists of three masonry-built workshops with gabled roofs, each designed for different stages of the process of building and repairing wooden boats.
