Christopher Columbus Museum, Historical museum in Valladolid, Spain
The Columbus House Museum spans four floors displaying navigation instruments, maps, sculptures, and pre-Hispanic pottery from indigenous American cultures.
Christopher Columbus died in Valladolid on May 20, 1506, leading to the creation of this museum building in 1965 in Gothic-Isabelline architectural style.
The museum exhibits feature detailed accounts of Columbus's four voyages to America, including discoveries of Cuba, Jamaica, Honduras, and other Caribbean territories.
Located on Colon Street, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM with reduced admission fees on Wednesdays.
Within the interior courtyard stands an iron reproduction of the Santa Maria ship and a commemorative medallion inscribed with 'Here died Columbus'.
