Museum of the City and the Sea Castillo de Mata

The Museum of the City and the Sea occupies a stone fortress with exhibitions about navigation tools, ship models, and historical maritime documents.

Originally built in the 18th century, Castillo de Mata served as a defense structure against pirates who threatened the coastal city of Las Palmas.

The museum preserves and displays artifacts that demonstrate the deep connection between Las Palmas and maritime activities through five centuries of history.

The museum offers free admission to all visitors, with guided group tours available through advance reservations at the administrative office.

Located within the restored military fortification, the museum provides exhibitions about naval exploration while maintaining its original defensive architecture.
