Museo Casa de la Troya

About

The Casa de la Troya Museum is located in the heart of Santiago de Compostela old town, very close to the church of St. Martin Pinario the Cathedral. The museum re-creates the environment and decoration of a students' dormitory and Santiago's university life of late 19th century. The recreation is based in the novel by Alejandro Pérez Lugín “La Casa de la Troya” (House of the Troy). From 1886 to 1906 the house was a guest house for students. The 90s restoration reconfigured the rooms and chambers just like the guesthouse that appears in the novel. Following the reception in the ground floor, the first floor reproduces the former hall and study area (apart from being the rehearsal room for the Tuna of Santiago at some point) and the respect hall, the space for receiving the students' families. In the second floor the visitor will see the bedroom. The kitchen is located in attic the highest part of the house. The visits are guided and last approximately 20 minutes.
