Casa de Colón

Monument · Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Gran Canaria - Área Metropolitana, Las Palmas

Complex of colonial buildings in Vegueta, the former residence of the island's governors. Local tradition holds that Christopher Columbus stayed there in August 1492, during the technical stopover before his first voyage to America. Today it functions as a museum devoted to the history of navigation and the relations between the Canary Islands and America.
