Casa de la Aduana o Pozo de la Aguada

A key site in the port history of La Gomera

This historic site, known as the Customs House or Pozo de la Aguada, is closely linked to the origins of San Sebastián de La Gomera and its relationship with the sea. It was once one of the main freshwater supply points for ships and local inhabitants, at a time when the island was a regular stop on Atlantic routes. Today, it offers insight into the strategic importance of water and the port in the development of the island’s capital, bringing together heritage, history and landscape in a single setting.
