Casa de Zorrilla, Historic house museum in Valladolid, Spain
Casa de Zorrilla is a two-story residential building in Valladolid, furnished in the style of the poet's era and displaying his personal belongings throughout its rooms. The spaces preserve his life and work through original documents and items that reflect his daily existence and literary career.
The house was acquired by the city in 1917 to preserve the memory of Romantic poet José Zorrilla and his contributions to Spanish literature. This purchase coincided with a major anniversary of his birth.
The house serves as an active space for those interested in Spanish Romantic literature, hosting regular poetry readings and theatrical performances within its rooms. These events demonstrate how the poet's work remains connected to the city's cultural life today.
The museum is open during early evening hours on weekdays and mornings on Sundays, allowing visitors to explore the poet's life through guided tours in smaller groups. The compact size makes it easy to visit alongside other city attractions.
During summer months, the home's garden becomes an open-air venue where theatrical works are performed under the sky, bringing the poet's dramatic pieces to life in the very setting where he lived. Visitors can watch these performances while enjoying the outdoor surroundings.
