  2. Museo El Castillo

    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.
