It was back in 1919 when the poet Antonio Machado came to Segovia for occupying a chair in the High School of the city. From that moment on, until he left Segovia in 1932, he rented a room in a house of the Desamparados street that, as time went by, was bought by the Academy of History and Arts of San Quirce, turning it into a permanent remembrance of the poet. It’s a museum made for the most intimate evocation. The humble house remains as nude as it should have been when Antonio inhabited the place, and still preserves the same furniture. The room he occupied remains untouched, and from the walls, as for materializing his absence, hangs a collection of old pictures, along with paintings, drawings and posters which wear the signature of artists such as Rafael Peñuelas, Jesus Unturbe, Alvaro Delgado or Pablo Picasso.
