This 18th-century Spanish fortress turned museum is occasionally the site for festive gatherings.

Acapulco owns a very rich history and we were very happy to discover it by visiting that fortress and its museum. About 10 rooms are dedicated to different ages and aspects of what was the most important port in New Spain. We went 3 times as we wanted to read and learn the most possible!

I somehow managed to avoid setting foot in a single silver shop during my stay in Taxco - this attraction is much more to my liking. Arrived right as it was opening and got a great tour in English by a sweet matron. It was amusing to hear her describing some of the ghastlier chapters in the house's history. I was also really intrigued by its incarnation after it was purchased by Señor Figueroa - lots of signed photos of American celebs - Bette Davis, Elvis, a youngish Richard Nixon (!) who passed through on their way to Acapulco back in the day. I would like to know more about this man who preserved the house while decking it out with art and a tiled bar from whence he served visitors a complimentary glass of tequila after he turned it into a museum. (Alas the tradition did not survive him) I really like this kind of museum, where the former occupants books of detective stories and the like are shelved alongside more rarified volumes. I could almost imagine that that nifty triptych medicine cabinet contained 60s era powders and pills!

We have walked by here many times without going in. So happy we now have. A very friendly, knowledgeable staff person took the small entry fee and then explained a lot of the museum to us. We were also given a sheet of information in English. Very informative and great to have this local museum.

We concluded a historical afternoon in Acapulco with a visit to the Naval Museum after visiting the nearby Mask Museum (Casa de Mascaras), and the Acapulco History Museum. The Naval Museum houses amazing maritime artifacts and large replicates of historical ships. Most contain in excess of 30,000 pieces from multiple types of wood. The museum director is a master ship builder and his large replica ship in progress is displayed. Signs and exhibit descriptions are only in Spanish & the director provided a private Spanish language museum tour. Fortunately, our tour guide, Roberto, from Roberto Alarcon Tours, translated the director’s presentation into English and our questions to him into Spanish. The director was very knowledgeable about maritime history & the museum exhibits. He also opened portions of the replica ships to show interior rooms and their furnishings that were exact hand crafted replicas of the original ships as he explained ship sizes, types of woods, cargos, sails, etc. The tiny pieces needed to build interior rooms, room contents, cargo, and the tiny working parts such as anchors and sails helped us understand the complexity of each replica project. The director was passionate in sharing his extensive knowledge of maritime history; replica building and details on museum exhibits. However, without the help of Roberto’s translations, we wouldn't have been able to understand the importance of the exhibits or communicate with the director.
