In Callejón del Cementerio Nº 7 lies a dynamic space pulsating with the history and identity of Canarias: the Museum of Lucha Canaria. Opened in 2010, this cultural centre has established itself as a key reference point for those who wish to delve into the origins, evolution, and current status of the archipelago’s most representative indigenous sport.

A Journey Through Time

The museum’s exhibitions offer a journey through time, showcasing everything from the practices of ancient inhabitants to the spread of lucha in emigration territories. Visitors can closely examine historical accounts, modern regulations, as well as the costumes and techniques that define this sport.

An Immersive Experience

One of the most captivating features is its audiovisual space, which simulates entry into a terrero and allows visitors to experience the thrill of a lucha as if they were in the midst of competition. Outdoors, a partial replica of a terrero enhances the experience with live demonstrations, emphasising the nobility, strength, and respect that characterise Lucha Canaria.

More than Just a Sport

The Museum of Lucha Canaria serves not only as a tribute to a sport but also as a reminder of the values and roots that continue to bind the islands together.
