Museo Tomás Espora

The Museo Tomás Espora is a naval museum housed in a colonial-style building with adobe walls and wooden structures in southern Buenos Aires. It preserves objects and memorabilia related to an important Argentine naval officer.

The building was constructed in 1824 and later served as the residence of a prominent Argentine admiral who died there in 1835. It stands as a record of Argentina's early republican period.

The museum displays paintings from naval battles and uniforms that document the admiral's life at sea. Visitors can see how this naval officer is remembered in Argentine history.

The museum is located on Avenida Caseros and is easily accessible by public transport serving that area of the city. Guided tours through the rooms provide better insight into the displayed collections.

The central courtyard contains a life-size statue of the admiral created by a noted sculptor, along with an original ship mast. These elements create a place of remembrance at the heart of the museum.
