Villa Roy Museum of Republican History
Museo de Historia Republicana Villa Roy
A former presidential residence on a hillside north of the old town, now a museum of Honduras's republican history with views over the old town.
Villa Roy is an early 20th-century mansion-style residence that served as the official home of President Tiburcio Carías Andino. It was later converted into a museum of republican history, displaying items linked to past presidents, old furniture, carriages, and 19th- and 20th-century photographs and documents that help visitors understand Honduras's political history since independence. The house sits on a hillside, and its gardens offer views over the old town's rooftops. The museum is small, and a visit takes about 45 minutes. Opening hours are irregular, so it's best to check before setting out.
