Located in the heart of old Quito, this museum safeguards the memories of Manuela Saenz, one of Quito's illustrious daughters, who played an important political and military role during the wars of Independence in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. After the death of her lover, Simón Bolívar, in 1830, she was deported to Jamaica for political reasons. She lived in exile in Paita, a small coastline town in Peru where she died in 1856. She is called the "Liberator of the Liberator." This museum contains her history, paintings, stamps and personal effects. Entrance is free with the purchase of one of the books about the heroine's life.
