Casa Museo Antonio Nariño
About This Museum
Did you know Antonio Nariño, the man who first translated the 'Rights of Man' into Spanish, lived in this very house? Stepping through its thick wooden door feels like walking into his world. You can almost hear the scratch of his quill in the quiet study where he worked. The air is thick with history, and every object tells a piece of Colombia's fight for independence.
Collection Highlights
Look for his personal writing desk and a first edition of his famous translation. The walls are lined with period art and maps that show how the world looked through his eyes.
Visitor Information
It's tucked right on the main square in Villa de Leyva, so you can't miss it—just look for the classic colonial facade. Pop in for a quiet half-hour away from the sun; it's a small but powerful stop.
Architecture & Building
A beautiful, whitewashed Spanish colonial home with a red-tiled roof, heavy wooden doors, and rooms that open onto a central courtyard.
