Colombo House, History museum in Vila Baleira, Porto Santo, Portugal
The Colombo House presents exhibits about maritime exploration across multiple rooms in a traditional stone building from the 16th century.
Christopher Columbus resided in this house during the late 1470s after marrying Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, the daughter of Porto Santo's first governor.
The museum displays period furnishings, household items, and maritime artifacts that represent life during the Portuguese Age of Discoveries.
Located in central Vila Baleira at Travessa da Sacristia 2-4, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
Two Gothic pointed arches within the museum's stone wall suggest an architectural connection to the period when Columbus inhabited the building.
