Museo El Castillo is a museum in Medellín, Colombia, housed in a castle built in the Gothic style. Its address is Calle 9 Sur #32-269, in the Antioquia region's capital. Visitors also know it as the El Castillo Museum.
The building was originally constructed in the 1930s as a private residence. Today it is a museum, and its rooms present decorative arts and antique furniture, giving a sense of how the house would have been furnished and lived in. The Gothic character of the architecture makes the visit as much about the building itself as about the objects inside it.
What to expect
- A castle-style building with Gothic architecture
- Collections of decorative arts and antique furniture
- Beautiful gardens surrounding the castle
The gardens offer a quieter space to pause between the indoor displays, and are a pleasant part of the outing in their own right.
