The SESC Arsenal, originally known as the Real Trem de Guerra and later the War Arsenal (), is a former arsenal in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. John VI of Portugal mandated the creation of the arsenal in Cuiabá in 1818, shortly before the Independence of Brazil in 1822. It was completed and subsequently expanded in the 1840s in response to territorial disputes with the newly independent Spanish states. Read more on Wikipedia
