Casa-Museo Pérez Galdós
Birthplace of novelist Benito Pérez Galdós in the Triana district of Las Palmas, now a house-museum with guided visits and free entry.
The Casa-Museo Pérez Galdós occupies the 19th-century house where Benito Pérez Galdós, one of the great figures of the Spanish novel, was born. It stands in the historic Triana quarter in the centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and is run by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria within the Gran Canaria Cultura network.
The museum keeps the library and archive devoted to the writer, including his correspondence, and organises temporary exhibitions, educational activities and extensive Galdosian research through its chair and the International Galdosian Congress. It also offers a virtual tour and a 3D walkthrough of the house.
