Full description

The Naval Museum sits next to the headquarters of the Spanish Navy in the Retiro district and covers nautical science and Spain's naval story from the era of Isabella and Ferdinand onward. Visitors move through galleries of detailed ship models, from ancient vessels to modern ones, presented in a factual, objective tone that reviewers appreciate.

Entry is free, and most people spend between one and two hours inside. It works for maritime-history enthusiasts as well as families, since the models and exhibits are easy to follow without prior knowledge, and its long opening hours make it simple to fit into most parts of the day.

Reviews

Wonderful museum explained a lot on the sailing history of Spain in quite a factual and objective way. You will see a lot of ships models from ancient to current. It takes you around one to two hours to finish. Worth the time!
