Machado lived in this house while working as a French teacher at the local secondary school, the Instituto General y Técnico.
The museum preserves the poet's original bedroom exactly as it was when he lived there, including his bed and personal effects.
The house was converted into a museum in 1951, spearheaded by a group of local intellectuals to prevent the loss of the poet's legacy.
The garden at the back of the house features a bust of Machado, created by sculptor Emiliano Barral.
Many of Machado's poems written during this period reflect his observations of the Castilian landscape surrounding Segovia.
The building was once a humble boarding house, known as the 'Pensión de la rue des Desamparados'.
The Casa-Museo de Antonio Machado preserves the rented rooms occupied by the Spanish poet from 1919 to 1932 while he taught French at a nearby institute. The building is a traditional 18th-century Segovian house that retains original period furnishings, personal correspondence, and Machado's writing desk. It serves as a historical record of his daily life and his literary connection to the city of Segovia. The house remains maintained as a public museum and cultural hub dedicated to his legacy. It is situated within the historic center, reflecting the austere lifestyle typical of the poet's residence period.

Look for the original collection of personal letters which are frequently displayed in the glass cabinets.
Do not mistake it for a large gallery; it is a small, intimate domestic space, so avoid visiting with large groups.
Closed on Mondays throughout the year.
Maintain a quiet tone as the house is small and sound carries easily; photography is generally permitted without flash.
