Palacio de Salazar is an old palace on Calle O'Daly in Santa Cruz de la Palma, now used as a museum and conference hall. Visitors can enter for free and see its well-kept inner courtyard, with traditional balconies and exhibitions by local artists. Some works respond to the impact of a recent volcanic eruption, including paintings made by local children.
