Casa Museo Pérez Galdós

The Pérez Galdós House-Museum in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a traditional house from the 19th century and part of the 20th century, located in the Triana neighborhood, in the historic center of the city. The writer Benito Pérez Galdós was born and lived there until he was 19 years old (1862). Although its transformation and use as a museum made some changes necessary, the materials and the original structure have been maintained, which, following the traditional Canarian domestic architecture of the nineteenth century, enables housing around two central courtyards. In addition to many of the preserved furnishings, it contains an interesting collection of musical instruments, works of art, photographs and other decorative objects. It is worth mentioning the reconstructions of the room where Benito was born, or the office and the bedroom of his house in "San Quintín" in Santander.
