THE CASA MUSEU FERNANDO DE CASTRO IS HOUSED IN THE FORMER RESIDENCE OF FERNANDO DE CASTRO, (1889-1946), MERCHANT, POET, CARICATURIST AND ABOVE ALL COLLECTOR. HE MAINLY OCCUPIED HIS TIME SPENT IN THE OFFICE DRAWING AND WRITING, LEAVING US A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CARTOONS, HUMOROUS DRAWINGS AND SOME PUBLISHED WORKS IN VERSE AND PROSE, AS WELL AS A MANUSCRIPT. GREAT PART OF THE LIFE WAS DEDICATED TO COLLECT THE PIECES WITH WHICH HE DECORATED HIS OWN HOME, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF TURNING IT INTO A MUSEUM. THERE IS, ABOVE ALL, A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF WOOD CARVING FROM CHURCHES AND MONASTERIES WITH WHICH HE PRACTICALLY COVERED THE WHOLE INTERIOR OF HIS HOUSE. IN MANY CASES IT IS THE CARVING THAT SERVES AS THE BACKDROP OR SUPPORT FOR THE DISPLAY OF THE OBJECTS, CREATING A COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED ENVIRONMENT IN THIS HOUSE, DEVOID OF EMPTY SPACES, WHOSE ORIGINALITY CANNOT FAIL TO SURPRISE US. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO APPARENT LOGICAL APPROACH IN ITS ARRANGEMENT, WE CAN FIND A VERY INTERESTING GROUP OF WORKS HERE: PAINTINGS FROM THE 17TH TO 20TH CENTURY, WITH PROMINENCE TO THE NATURALISTIC PAINTING OF THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES, SCULPTURE, ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY OF A RELIGIOUS NATURE, FROM THE 16TH TO THE 19TH CENTURY, SOME PIECES OF CERAMIC, GLASS AND TOREUTIC. PUBLIC VISITS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY (AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THE VISIT)
