The visitor will be able to learn about the first circumnavigation of the planet, carried out by captains Magellan and Elcano, narrated by the voice of its main ship: the Nao Victoria, which becomes, in this way, the narrator of its history: From its birth, through its construction and the preparations for the expedition, to arrive, then, at length, at the immensity of the voyage made, as well as the events through which its crew went through, in addition to the dangers they faced and the obvious harshness of life on board.

The tour culminates in a visit to the ship’s quarters.

The visit culminates aboard the Nao Victoria 500: an imposing life-size replica of the legendary galleon, docked on the Guadalquivir River, which will transport visitors through the daily sensations and life experiences of the sailors, who were the front-line protagonists of this incredible adventure.
