Museo El Castillo

Lonely Planet review

Occupying a mock-Gothic castle built in 1930 in El Poblado, the Museo El Castillo was once home to a wealthy Antioquian landowner. Inside are the family's belongings, including furniture and artwork from around the world. Outside, there are pleasant, French-style formal gardens. All visits are guided and take about half an hour. There may be recitals on some days in the castle's auditorium.

The museum is 5km south of the city center. Take the El Poblado-San Lucas bus from Parque Berrío, get off at Loma de Los Balsos and follow the side street downhill for five minutes to the museum. Instead of returning the same way, you can walk further down to Carrera 43A where there are plenty of buses going to the center.
