Aan boord van de El Galeón

Unique replica of the Spanish galleons that connected Asia, America and Spain for three centuries and enabled the greatest exchange of cultures, people and ideas in history. They mastered navigation through the world's oceans and became the only commercial and cultural vehicle between continents and were responsible for the first globalisation.

It was built by the Nao Victoria Foundation to be a unique ship in the world where tradition meets modernity and represents Spanish culture. Apart from being unique as a replica, it has more than 3,400 ft2 of decks open to visitors, making it a floating interpretation centre of the history of Spanish galleons and their role in the spread of Spanish culture around the world and its relationship with the Americas.
