The Zorrilla House in Valladolid, located in the autonomous community of Castilla y León in Spain, is a significant cultural site. This property is where the renowned romantic poet, José Zorrilla, was born on February 21, 1817. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the birthplace of one of Spain's most celebrated poets.
The Zorrilla House is of simple design and structure, consisting of two floors, a basement, and a garden. Visitors can see some of the poet's original furniture, such as his desk, which were donated by his widow. These preserved items provide a tangible connection to the poet's life and work.
Among the personal items of Zorrilla preserved in the house, the funerary mask made from his face by the sculptor Aurelio Rodríguez-Vicente Carretero is particularly notable.
