The Naval Museum of the Ship of the Virgin is a unique attraction in Santa Cruz de La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. It is a naval monument and museum that is shaped like a large galleon, and is situated next to the Las Nieves ravine, in the northern part of the city. This distinctive and iconic shape makes it a symbol of Santa Cruz de La Palma and one of the most recognized emblems of the island of La Palma itself.
A Tribute to the Seafaring Tradition
The Naval Museum of the Ship of the Virgin is not just a museum, but also a tribute to the seafaring tradition. It was built in memory of the Palmeros sailors who sailed their ships, made with wood from the island's mountains, across all the seas of the world. This connection to the island's maritime history adds a layer of depth and significance to the museum's exhibits.
