Casa Museo de Pérez Galdós
The birthplace of Benito Pérez Galdós (1843 – 1920), the most distinguished writer from the Canary Islands, was turned into a museum commemorating the author’s life and work. This five-storey building is a fine example of Canary Island architecture, built around a small patio adorned with a statue of the writer.
The Casa Museo de Pérez Galdós, which opened in 1964, still boasts the original interior decoration and displays objects associated with the writer’s life, portraits and items from his houses in Madrid and Santander, many of which he designed and made himself, as well as photographs of many actors who appeared in his plays.
A library contains original works and translations, correspondence, meeting minutes and dissertations from the much-respected author.
