Galeano's House

It is an oasis of art and cultural heritage in western Honduras. The house, built in 1840 in neoclassical style, belonged to the Galeano family. Don Margarito Galeano and Doña Sebastiana Trejo raised 11 children, including Professor Alberto Galeano. You can observe his neoclassical style in all the paintings and murals. He is also the creator of the botanical garden, a place where you can appreciate native and exotic plants, many of which were brought from Cuba, Spain and Mexico.
