Lonely Planet review for Museo del 20 de Julio

The late-16th-century home that houses the Museo del 20 de Julio marks the spot where a ‘broken vase was heard around the world.’ Apparently. Just after Napoleon overcame Spain in 1810, a local Creole Antonio Morales came here, according to the story, and demanded an ornate vase from its Spanish owner José González Llorentes, which led to a fistfight on the street (plus one shattered vase, and some hurt feelings) – eventually spurring a rebellion.
