Although the Maritime Museum of Spain is located on Paseo del Prado, it is not very well known to the public, as many people are surprised when they specifically go there, because it is not talked about enough. The exhibits take you through the history of the Spanish Navy from the time of the Catholic Monarchs, from the 15th century, to the present day. Screens display maritime history, accompanied by information on Spanish rulers, and the country's former colonies. The collections also include navigation tools, weapons, maps, drawings, maps, books, ancient coins, and others.
