Casa de Colón
A traditional Canarian house on Calle Real that displays materials on Columbus's voyages and pre-Hispanic pottery. Admission is free.
Casa de Colón is a traditional Canarian house with wooden balconies and an inner courtyard. Legend holds that Columbus stayed here during his visit to La Gomera in 1492. It now serves as a small museum, displaying materials, maps and replicas related to Columbus's four voyages, as well as pottery of the island's indigenous people and crafts from the Americas. It also hosts temporary exhibitions. Admission is free, and the museum is small. Together with the Church of the Assumption and Torre del Conde, it can be visited on foot in about an hour, tracing Columbus's route through the capital.
