The replica of the Nao Victoria

Built for the Universal Exhibition of Seville (1992), its home port, the Nao Victoria is the only replica of the original ship that, to date, has completed a round the world tour.

Construction began in March 1991 in Isla Cristina (Huelva-Spain). Its designer and builder was Ignacio Fernández Vial, who after an exhaustive historical study faithfully traced its shapes and details. For eight months, riverbank carpenters and engineers worked on its construction following a maximum historical rigor.

Once the Nao Victoria was finished, it remained on display to the public during the Universal Exhibition of Seville in 1992, together with the replicas of the Nao Santa María and the caravels Pinta and la Niña, the ships of Christopher Columbus. More than 3 million people visited these ships full of history.

After the Universal Exhibition, the Nao Victoria was exposed to the public in dry dock, out of the water, near the Pavilion of Navigation, so that all its forms could be admired.
