Museo Casa da Troia
About This Museum
So, I found this incredible little museum tucked away on Rúa da Troia, and it turns out it's the real-life boarding house that inspired a famous 19th-century Spanish novel! It feels like you've stepped right back in time. You can peek into the old student rooms, complete with creaky wooden floors and simple furnishings, imagining the boisterous lives of the law students who lived here. The whole place has this wonderfully authentic, slightly chaotic energy that makes history feel immediate and alive.
Collection Highlights
The highlights are definitely the recreated student bedrooms and common areas, filled with personal items and period furniture. They also have first editions of the novel 'La Casa de la Troya' and photographs that connect the real place to its fictional story.
Visitor Information
It's right in the heart of the old town at Rúa da Troia, 5—super easy to pop into while you're exploring Santiago. Just check their opening hours online as they can be a bit specific.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in a classic, unassuming Galician stone townhouse with a rustic, almost humble facade that perfectly captures its history as a simple student residence.
