MUSEO DEL GALEÓN
will stand as a lasting and enduring monument that will benefit present and future generations.
A cutting-edge, educational institution in the Asia-Pacific region, our museum will present histories, alongside current and future maritime scenarios through a variety of platforms.
THE GALEÓN ESPÍRITU SANTO
Explore the Galeón Espíritu Santo, a full-scale representation of a 17th -century galleon that was constructed in Cavite in 1603.
The Galeón Espíritu Santo successfully participated in the Manila-Acapulco voyages from 1603 to 1618 on the galleon trade route discovered by Andres de Urdaneta in 1565, known as El Tornaviaje.
In over 250 years of the galleon trade, 181 vessels sailed across the Pacific Ocean between Manila and Acapulco in 798 voyages.
