    Naval Museum: Unique View of Spain's History
    A short walk from the Prado, this national museum provides an extensive collection of replica models (award winning), portraits, and naval architecture to tell the story of Spain's naval history and evolution. For a military buff, or a historian, this is a treasure house. If you have familiarity with Spain's history, you can find it well worth you time. We did not need to show our passports at the desk. Highly recommend.

    Good Insight to Spanish Maritime History
    The Naval Museum is close to the Prado and is a short walk away from Banco de Espana metro station. I visited soon after opening time on a Tuesday morning and followed the designated route through a series of exhibits dating from the 15th century to the current day. There were many models of various vessels from the past, as well as some interesting art. Spain’s naval battles with the Netherlands and Britain were well documented and also the part Spain plays as a member of the EU and NATO in current maritime affairs. Admission is free.
