What is Archivo General de las Indias?

Don't let the name confuse you - the Archivo General de las Indias is the archive of Spain's colonial exploits around the world - and no, they never colonized India. The documentation here pertains to Spain's adventures in South America and the Philippines.

Interesting artifacts here include Columbus's personal diary and the decree from the Pope that divided up the world between Spain and Portugal.

Where is Archivo General de las Indias?

Behind the Cathedral on Avenida de la Constitución.
