The Cervantes Birthplace Museum is a monographic museum owned and run by the Autonomous Region of Madrid, and housed in the building where, the scholars tell us, the writer was born. It brings to life the various areas of an affluent household during the 16th and 17th centuries, recreating an environment intended to provide visitors to the rooms with a sense of the former residents as they went about their daily lives.
In recent years, the number of visitors has increased to an average of 150,000 per year. The most significant growth was recorded in 2005, with a total of 211,164 visitors. |

Accessibility
The museum is being equipped with resources to improve accessibility for different collectives, most notably the blind or visually impaired thanks to a cooperation agreement between the ONCE (National Organisation of Spanish Blind People) and the Autonomous Region of Madrid.
