The Aragonese Navy was the naval force of the Kingdom of Aragon, which existed from the 12th to the 18th centuries. It played a crucial role in maritime trade and military operations in the Mediterranean Sea. The navy was known for its galleys and later for its sailing ships, which helped protect Aragonese interests and territories. During its peak, the Aragonese Navy participated in various conflicts, including the Reconquista and the Italian Wars. It was instrumental in establishing Aragon's influence over key Mediterranean regions. The navy eventually merged with other naval forces, contributing to the formation of the modern Spanish Navy.
