Casa Museo Palacio Spínola
Standing proudly in the heart of Teguise, Lanzarote's former capital, this 17th-century manor house blends noble heritage with cultural depth. The Palacio Spínola serves as home to the Timple Museum, dedicated to the Canary Islands' most iconic stringed instrument. Its rooms, arranged around a central courtyard featuring an antique well, tell the story of both this traditional cordophone and the aristocratic life that once flourished on the island.
The building has evolved through various roles, from noble residence to official seat of the Canary Islands Government in Lanzarote. Today, its carefully restored spaces showcase collections ranging from historic instruments to period furniture, offering an immersive journey through Lanzarote's cultural legacy. Located opposite the main church on a pedestrian street bustling with activity—especially during the popular Sunday market—the palace naturally draws visitors exploring Teguise's historic quarter.
A visit here means stepping into the atmosphere of a town that served as the island's power center for centuries, while appreciating well-preserved Canarian architecture cherished by those who value authentic local history.
