Nueva Cadiz Museum and library is situated in the same building which was the elegant Casa Capitular, seat of the colonial government and later used as a jail. There are pre-Columbian artifacts, some religious sculpture from the churches, antiquated diving gear and a model of one of the Guipuzcoana Company ships. In the patio there is a statue of the Tyrant Lope de Aguirre and a large concrete scale map of Margarita.
