Military museographic collection of the Legion

This collection displays over 200 military decorations, photographs, weapons, documents, scripts, and pennants arranged across four exhibition rooms. The items document the service and activities of military personnel across different periods.

The collection was founded in 1940 at Dar-Riffien, Tetouan, and later relocated to Ceuta as circumstances in the region changed. It preserves records of the Spanish Legion's history and its activities across North Africa.

The collection displays uniforms and equipment from different periods of the Spanish Legion's service. You can observe how clothing and military gear changed over the decades.

The collection is located in a building within the city at Avenida Deán Navarro Acuña. Visitors should contact ahead to confirm opening hours and any access requirements.

The collection contains personal items and medals that actually belonged to military members. Each piece carries a story about the person and their accomplishments.
