About

Casa de Colón invites visitors on a journey through the history and art of the Canary Islands and their ties with the Americas. Housed in the former residence of Christopher Columbus, the museum showcases a curated collection of the explorer’s personal belongings—drawings, journals, portraits—and exhibits that illustrate the rich cultural exchanges that shaped the archipelago’s past. With an engaging blend of permanent displays, highlighted pieces, and conservation efforts, it offers a unique insight into how local art and history intersect with global narratives, making it a must‑visit destination for those interested in the intersections of exploration, heritage, and regional culture.
