Casa de Cervantes

Valladolid


Cervantes was briefly imprisoned in Valladolid; his house is happily preserved behind a quiet little garden. The museum is a mix of period furnishings that date back to Cervantes' day as well as many of the writer's personal effects and examples of his writings.

You can purchase a combined adult ticket that also admits you to the Museo Nacional de Escultura for €5.
