The Casa da Troia Museum is located in the heart of Santiago de Compostela old town, very close to the church of San Martiño Pinario the Cathedral. The museum re-creates the environment and decoration of a students' dormitory and Santiago's university life of late 19th century. The recreation is based in the novel by Alejandro Pérez Lugín “La Casa de la Troya” (House of the Troy). From 1886 to 1906 the Casa da Troia was a students' dormitory. The 90s restoration reconfigured the rooms and chambers just like the guesthouse that appears in the novel.
