Museum of Canarian Wrestling: A Cultural Landmark
Located on Cemetery Alley No. 7, a space pulses with the rhythm of history and identity in Canarias: the Museum of Canarian Wrestling. Opened in 2010, this cultural centre has established itself as a reference point for those wishing to delve into the origins, evolution, and current state of the most representative native sport of the archipelago.
A Journey Through History
The tour through its halls offers a journey through time, from the practices of ancient inhabitants to the spread of wrestling in emigration territories. Visitors can closely examine historical chronicles, modern regulations, and the attire and techniques that distinguish this sport.
Immersive Experiences
One of the most striking attractions is its audiovisual space, which simulates the entrance to a terreros, allowing visitors to experience the thrill of a wrestling match as if they were in the midst of competition. Outdoors, a partial reproduction of a terrero enhances the experience with live exhibitions, highlighting the nobility, strength, and respect that characterise Canarian Wrestling.
A Tribute to Values and Roots
The Museum of Canarian Wrestling is not only a tribute to a sport, but also a reminder of the values and roots that continue to unite the islands.
