The island of Gran Canaria became strategically important after it was brought under the control of the Crown of Castile in the 15th century. The capital and port of Las Palmas would become an essential stop-off for ships crossing the Atlantic during the Age of Discovery. Once Christopher Columbus burst onto the scene, he would forever leave his mark on the island. Columbus brought his ship into port here to make some small repairs before his first voyage across the Atlantic, marking the start of a close relationship between the discovery of America and Gran Canaria. It’s therefore no surprise that one of the most important museums in Las Palmas is the Casa de Colón, or House of Columbus, one of the most emblematic cultural institutions in the city. It showcases Christopher Columbus, the Canary Islands and America and is an essential part of your visit to Las Palmas if you want an in-depth look at this important chapter of world history.

For a gateway into Gran Canaria's past, why not visit one of GC's museums? Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's Casa de Cólon (Columbus House) museum chronicles the adventures of Christopher Columbus whilst Gáldar's Cueva Pintada (Painted Cave) museum reveals the island's pre-Spanish history.
