We recommend you start by entering the museum and taking a tour of the various rooms. Then continue with the view of the Santa Cruz ferry port as you leave the museum and climb to the top of the fortifications. Continue with a tour of the casemates, accessible from the inner courtyard. Round off your visit with a tour of the inner courtyard, featuring military vehicles and impressive weapons of war. This organization enabled us to enjoy a progressive and coherent visit.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"

The military vehicles in the inner courtyard also attract the attention of children, who can observe them up close.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-5dV2k8j\/0\/MCx2J6HJV9Z5nrhGgzVswrQC2mBpH3ktkwMsc3GD5\/L\/jeu%20interactif%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - Visiting with children\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedules and rates<\/h3>\n\n<p>The museum is free and open:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tuesday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weekends and public holidays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Visit the official website for more info <a href=\"https:\/\/ejercito.defensa.gob.es\/unidades\/Madrid\/ihycm\/Museos\/canarias.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-M5CTZxj\/0\/MQwt7MLHH7LVJGPKzLchkcTLDLqdRzWpqHMBjqnfj\/L\/horaires%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - Opening hours and prices\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guided tours<\/h3>\n\n<p>An audio guide is available via a QR code to be scanned on your smartphone.

It combines sound and moving lights to reproduce the main events of the attempted British invasion of the city in 1797. This episode is one of the most significant events in the history of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-Zwd4Wd9\/0\/MXtpKqxBrXGm8rWcgBQ45pcBNrQjv9HzvbQt8HFXX\/L\/maquelle%20geante%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - The giant model of the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>You can relive the conquest attempt of British commander Horatio Nelson, who sought to seize the capital in search of great riches. This meticulous reconstruction illustrates the Spanish victory over the British navy, a decisive moment for the archipelago. We appreciated the realism of this presentation, which helped us better understand the strategic issues of the time and the bravery of the city&#8217;s defenders.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-3BShNF8\/0\/MHx3LwjhfWLqtq5Gv8sJFgF6dJD6vcbZQjcSBQMpp\/L\/maquette%20bataille%20santa%20cruz%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Between conquest and exploration<\/strong>: a <strong>journey into the past of the Canary Islands<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The Canary Islands were first populated by Berber communities from North Africa, established on the archipelago as early as the I\u1d49\u02b3 century BC. The European conquest, begun in 1402 by the Frenchman Jean de B\u00e9thencourt, lasted almost a century, ending in 1496. After fierce resistance from the native populations, the islands were definitively attached to the Crown of Castile following the conquest of Tenerife. In the room dedicated to this period, we particularly appreciated the display of 15th-century weapons, armor and military objects used by the Castilian conquerors during the siege of Tenerife: a striking ensemble that brings to life this significant episode in the archipelago&#8217;s history.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-fLS3kQq\/0\/KHns9xR7nQ7NmkCPrZdf4JbxrbH4bpLcgc9VkRkmk\/L\/carte%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - The conquest of the Canary Islands\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Once peace had been restored, the Canaries became a strategic stopover on the major sea routes. The archipelago was home to Christopher Columbus, Magellan and Elcano, testifying to its key role in the rise of the Great Discoveries. The showcases dedicated to this period plunged us into the atmosphere of the first transatlantic voyages, with vintage maps, navigation instruments and ship models. From the XVI\u1d49 to the XVIII\u1d49 century, the islands were the target of numerous attacks by pirates and European powers, a context that the museum recreates through models of fortifications, uniforms and artillery.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-sn232HS\/0\/LRfgH6rfqHjHQRnKvDTdPtNMS4TmTmw4C3mtn3vk5\/L\/maquettes%20bateau%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - Great navigators\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_military_collections\"><\/span>Explore military collections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artillery and weapons through the centuries<\/h3>\n\n<p>This section features an impressive collection of cannons, shells, bombs, revolvers, rifles and firearms from different eras. Of particular note is the &#8220;Hercules&#8221; cannon, a 16th-century aculebriar cannon cast in Flanders, which protected the coast of Tenerife until the 19th century. You can also admire a fine collection of military medals and historical coins. The uniforms on display include the outfit of a female military medical orderly, a testament to the presence of women in the army. We were struck by the diversity of the pieces on display, each telling a different story in the evolution of combat and defense techniques.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-h29sXb8\/0\/KhCnQ8CGMvh62rgh5hPrf7MdQHxwTpgNXfsBsmSfq\/L\/artillerie%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - Artillery and weapons through the centuries\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symbols, communication and military life<\/h3>\n\n<p>This part of the museum features a rich collection of flags, including 2 English flags captured during the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. We discovered cartography and navigation elements, as well as communications equipment: radios, telephones, telemetry and transmission equipment. You&#8217;ll also notice period furniture, historic photographs and evocative paintings. Model boats complete the presentation, illustrating the boats used in different periods. We appreciated the way these everyday military objects revealed the living conditions of soldiers.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-PmNj9qJ\/0\/NCtPbJsPZr57KLnXHpttH2wsCtDK2PN3pNPdBNJtd\/L\/drapeau%20anglais%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - Symbols, communication and military life\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_the_courtyard_and_exterior_of_the_museum\"><\/span>Visit the courtyard and exterior of the museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A unique view of the Port of Santa Cruz<\/h3>\n\n<p>The museum&#8217;s strategic location offers a remarkable view of the Port of Santa Cruz. We took advantage of this panoramic view to observe the ferries and the coast from the heights of the fortifications. It&#8217;s easy to see why the site was chosen as a defensive site. The view of the modern port facilities contrasts with the ancient military architecture, creating an interesting dialogue between past and present.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-xFKr5MV\/0\/M7Vx7dv6XB34M7rvjWKnsrDHcV43bkDWTZskr6s6t\/L\/vue%20port%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - A unique view of the port of Santa Cruz\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The restored casemates<\/h3>\n\n<p>These underground caves, once used as shelters, complete the immersion into the military world of the past. We were impressed by their meticulous layout: they house models, firearms and artillery. You&#8217;ll also discover reconstructions with mannequins that bring these confined spaces to life. These well-restored casemates give an idea of the conditions in which soldiers protected themselves during attacks.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Tenerife\/Santa-Cruz-de-Tenerife\/Mus&#xE9;e-dHistoire-Militaire\/i-B4cpb8v\/0\/LMmNDGNVSXnMZWN6LGbcFh6Tdd67DM5rm94mWTt4T\/L\/casemate%20artillerie%20musee%20histoire%20militaire%20canaries%20tenerife-L.jpg\" alt=\"Canary Islands Military History Museum - The restored casemates\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Military vehicles in the open air<\/h3>\n\n<p>The museum&#8217;s inner courtyard features a remarkable collection of military vehicles. We were fascinated by the impressive tanks, helicopters and armored vehicles that bear witness to the evolution of military technology. You can also see a food cart, once pulled by 2 mules and designed to carry cold meals, spare clothes, bread and cooking utensils. This singular piece illustrates the military logistics of yesteryear and the challenges of field supply. We appreciated being able to move freely around these machines to examine the details. This open-air exhibition is a highlight of the visit, particularly appreciated by fans of mechanics and modern military history.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

Among the first 27 women to enlist that year were Mercedes Mila and Maria de los Reyes Mendoza Trujillo, the first female parachutist in 1992.
