Centro Histórico Ron Barceló
About This Museum
If you find yourself on the old road into Quisqueya, surrounded by the sweet smell of molasses from the local sugar mill, you've found the right place. The Centro Histórico Ron Barceló isn't your typical museum; it's a living tribute to one of the country's most famous rons and the community that helped build it. You'll walk through the story of Don Julián Barceló, who arrived from Mallorca in 1929 with a dream that would forever flavor the nation. It’s a deeply local story, told with pride and a touch of that famous Dominican warmth.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the place is the original copper pot stills, gleaming like giant pieces of art. You can almost hear the clinking of bottles from their collection of historic labels and see past workers in the black-and-white photos lining the walls.
Visitor Information
It sits at Carretera de Quisqueya km 6, so it's easy to spot. Since it's so popular, it's always a good idea to check their social media for current tour times before you head over.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a series of low-slung, industrial buildings that feel authentically part of the distillery's working past, with plenty of open space to wander.
