Casa de Colón Museum

Casa de Colón invites you to consider the Canary Islands within Atlantic history. Its collections and library concern America and links between the two shores, while the building reveals how a museum's image is constructed too. One telling detail lies in the entrances: the Calle Colón doorway preserves a sixteenth-century Gothic façade, while other entrances were designed for the museum's inauguration. Not everything that looks old therefore belongs to the same moment. Observe courtyards, stone and proportions before exploring the rooms. The name should not suggest a house preserved exactly as Columbus inhabited it. Consult the museum's interpretation and visiting arrangements, allowing time to understand connections, objects and historical context rather than simply collecting photographs.
