The Documentation Centre has a room where exhibitions on the history of the Santander Port are held.
Santander has museums, exhibition halls and cultural centres distributed throughout the city. In total, there are 54 spaces where you can immerse yourself in the world of art, culture and science.
It is possible to see works by Francisco de Goya, Luis Quintanilla, María Blanchard and Joan Miró, as well as other modern and contemporary artists completely free of charge.
There are no excuses for not enjoying art. The city has the Botín Centre, which forms part of the European circuit of top-level art centres, and magnificent spaces such as the MAS, which houses works by Goya and Miró, among other artists. In addition, Santander will soon be home to the first associated centre of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, which will house the impressive collection of the Lafuente Archive.
There is also the possibility of discovering places full of history, among them, the interpretation centres of the Anillo Cultural that allow you to learn about the past of the city and, a few metres away from them, you will find one of the most important prehistoric museums in Spain, the MUPAC.
The city also offers spaces for science lovers, as it is home to one of the most important museums of Pathological Anatomy in the world. Nor should we forget the Maritime Museum, which, in addition to its various aquariums, offers a complete study of the flora and fauna of the Cantabrian coast.
The Gamazo Buildings stand out as an architectural heritage that connects us with the vibrant industrial history of our city.
