The House of Naval History is a cultural and heritage site located in the Teusaquillo district. Founded in 2019, this space houses a valuable collection of objects, documents, and artifacts that narrate the evolution of the Colombian Navy and its maritime, naval, and riverine legacy.

It is a site designed to connect the public with more than two centuries of history through free tours that allow visitors to learn about the feats, heroes, and technological transformations of the naval institution. In its halls, the stories of men and women who have protected the blue of the flag come to life, such as Admiral José Prudencio Padilla López, a national hero and emblematic figure of the Navy.

The House of Naval History has also become an educational venue where activities are carried out with public, private, and naval schools, promoting knowledge of maritime history among children and young people.

This cultural treasure is open to the public Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and admission is free. It is an ideal place for tourists and residents who wish to take a journey into the past and discover the importance of our waters in national history.
