The Agüimes History Museum enables visitors to learn about the last five centuries of the area’s history, from the establishment of the Señorío Episcopal (Bishop’s Seat and estate), following the Castilian Conquest of the island, up until the middle of the 20th century.
The museum is housed in a building which belonged to the Bishops of the Canary Islands and which is known as the Palacio Episcopal (Bishops’ Palace). Interspersed between the different exhibition rooms and the services provided by the museum, are architectural works, some of which are new, while others have been recently restored.
Thanks to the generosity of the town’s residents in ceding many of the items on display has not only prevented them from being lost but also has allowed them to be enjoyed by all.
