A house turned into a museum
To preserve a monument like the house of Rosalía, aged older than a century, happens through an obligatory remodeling of the building. That is why, in 2012, the works for its refurbishment and its new status as a museum began. This way, many visitors can come to Padrón and first-hand experience the atmosphere and surroundings that inspired the writer's latest works.
A digital Rosalía
In 2015, after 40 years with the doors open to the public and many illustrious visits, the museum of Rosalía de Castro's house needed a reconception in order to adapt it to the new times. Therefore, the foundation decided to reorganize the wonderful heritage that the writer left us; including audio guides, screens where you can read your works and writings, as well as short videos about it. A must to know the importance of her figure for the Galician language and literature.
