Welcome to Madrid

The childhood home of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra now houses a museum dedicated to this great master of Spanish literature, recreating the customs, traditions, and everyday life of the 16th and 17th centuries.

This museum dedicated to the author of Don Quixote also houses an important bibliographic collection with editions of Cervantes’ work from different periods and in different languages, exhibited in the temporary exhibition room. There is also a consolidated programme of activities such as workshops for children and teenagers, conferences, plays, and musical shows.
