Museo Insular de La Palma
Island museum in a former Franciscan convent, spanning natural history, art and ethnography.
Housed in the 16th-century former convent of San Francisco, this museum brings together several collections that sum up La Palma: natural sciences, fine arts, Benahoarita archaeology and ethnography. Its cloister and halls give a full picture of the island, from its volcanic geology to its traditional culture.
