Lapalma Museum

 “Azotea de Lapalma'' belonged to Francisco Lapalma, who was the son of Juan Lapalma, the first doctor in Gualeguaychú. This two-storey house was built in 1830 inside a large farm located on the outskirts of the town. From the original property, only the house, the old garage and the water well remain today.

In 1978, the building was purchased by Gualeguaychu's local council in order to be a museum, but it had to be renovated as it had been abandoned for a long time. Very little furniture of the house was recovered from that time. Most of the restoration was possible because of donations from neighbours. On December 20th, 1986, the museum opened its doors with a lot of period furnishings and the house in good shape.

This house has a spooky side that you can discover in the following video.
