Madrid - Lope de Vega Museum

(Local Name: Casa de Lope de Vega) The house once occupied by Lope de Vega stands in a quiet little lane in the "literary quarter" of Madrid, round the Calle del Prado, the Plaza de Santa Ana and the Calle de Atocha. The great dramatist and poet, creator of the 17th C. Spanish comedia, settled here in 1610. The rooms of the house and the little garden, in which Lope de Vega and his family lived, worked and took their ease, are now open to the public as a museum, and offer an appealing impression of everyday life in Madrid in Spain's Golden Age.
