Museo Naval – Barco de la Virgen

Museo Naval – Barco de la Virgen is Santa Cruz de la Palma’s nautical museum housed in a concrete replica of the 15th‑century caravel Santa María. Inside, exhibits trace La Palma’s maritime history, including navigation instruments, ship models, charts, and artifacts from Atlantic trade and local shipbuilding. The ship-museum anchors the Plaza de la Alameda, making it easy to pair with a stroll through the historic quarter. It’s a compact, low-cost visit best for history and maritime enthusiasts, families, or anyone seeking a distinctive landmark and island context rather than extensive galleries.
