FROM 28/04/2023 TO 20/08/2023

“The Longe st Journey” tells the tale of the first circumnavigation of the Globe (1519-1522), an expedition financed by Emperor Charles V’s Spain, led initially by the Portuguese captain Ferdinand Magellan and concluded by Spanish navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano.

The exhibition consists of 15 panels showing the reasons, preparations, progress, misfortunes, hardships and “adventures” of the 5 ships and 245 men that set sail from Seville heading West and arrived, three years later, from the East, thus empirically proving the roundness of the Earth. Dreams and reality, calms and storms, all have their place in this amazing story of exploration, navigation and endurance.
