La maison-mus\u00e9e du docteur Mena<\/strong>, \u00e9galement connue sous le nom de Casa de los Alfaro<\/strong>, se trouve dans le village de La Ampuyenta<\/strong>, dans la municipalit\u00e9 de Puerto del Rosario<\/strong>, \u00e0 une quinzaine de kilom\u00e8tres de la capitale de l’\u00eele. Situ\u00e9e sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 gauche de la route FV-20<\/strong>, qui relie Casillas del \u00c1ngel \u00e0 Antigua, et en face du c\u00e9l\u00e8bre Hospitalito de La Ampuyenta<\/strong>, cette maison historique est l’un des sites patrimoniaux les plus uniques de l’int\u00e9rieur de Fuerteventura. <\/p>\n

Le docteur Mena, figure embl\u00e9matique de l’histoire de l’\u00eele<\/h3>\n

C’est dans cette maison que vivait Tom\u00e1s Antonio de San Pedro Mena Mesa<\/strong>, plus connu sous le nom de Docteur Mena<\/strong>, n\u00e9 \u00e0 La Ampuyenta en 1802<\/strong>, dans une famille tr\u00e8s humble et sans ressources \u00e9conomiques. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 baptis\u00e9 quelques semaines apr\u00e8s sa naissance dans l’\u00e9glise paroissiale de Santa Ana de Casillas del \u00c1ngel<\/strong>, entamant ainsi une trajectoire de vie marqu\u00e9e par l’effort personnel et la vocation pour le service. <\/p>\n

\u00c0 peine \u00e2g\u00e9 de 20 ans, Pedro Mena quitte Fuerteventura apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9missionn\u00e9 d’une chaire de philosophie et se rend \u00e0 Cuba<\/strong>, o\u00f9 il suit une formation de m\u00e9decin, sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans la chirurgie et les maladies tropicales<\/strong>. Son prestige professionnel le conduit \u00e9galement en France<\/strong>, o\u00f9 il poursuit ses \u00e9tudes et se forge une solide r\u00e9putation scientifique. Malgr\u00e9 son succ\u00e8s international, \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 45 ans<\/strong>, il d\u00e9cide de tout quitter et de retourner d\u00e9finitivement \u00e0 Fuerteventura, accompagn\u00e9 de sa servante mul\u00e2tre, pour s’occuper de sa m\u00e8re, veuve pour la deuxi\u00e8me fois et qui vit toujours \u00e0 La Ampuyenta. <\/p>\n

De retour sur l’\u00eele, le docteur Mena a pratiqu\u00e9 la m\u00e9decine de mani\u00e8re altruiste<\/strong>, soignant les plus d\u00e9munis sans faire payer ses services. Son engagement social et humain a fait de lui une figure profond\u00e9ment respect\u00e9e et aim\u00e9e dans toute l’\u00eele de Fuerteventura. <\/p>\n

La maison et sa transformation en mus\u00e9e<\/h3>\n

La maison, qui date du XVIIIe si\u00e8cle<\/strong>, pr\u00e9sente l’architecture canarienne traditionnelle des riches maisons rurales. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 restaur\u00e9e pour accueillir le mus\u00e9e de la maison du docteur Mena<\/strong>, qui permet aux visiteurs de d\u00e9couvrir la vie quotidienne et professionnelle de l’une des figures les plus illustres de l’histoire de Majorque. <\/p>\n

A l’int\u00e9rieur, ils sont pr\u00e9serv\u00e9s :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Meubles originaux<\/strong> en bois noble.<\/li>\n
  • Instruments chirurgicaux<\/strong> de l’\u00e9poque, t\u00e9moins de la pratique m\u00e9dicale du XIXe si\u00e8cle.<\/li>\n
  • Objets personnels et documentation relative \u00e0 sa vie et \u00e0 sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Bien qu’une grande partie de sa biblioth\u00e8que ait \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9truite, l’exposition nous permet de comprendre le niveau culturel, scientifique et humain du docteur Mena, ainsi que le confort de sa r\u00e9sidence.<\/p>\n

    Un h\u00e9ritage durable<\/h3>\n

    L’un des gestes les plus significatifs de son h\u00e9ritage a \u00e9t\u00e9 le don de 25 000 pesetas<\/strong> pour la construction d’un h\u00f4pital \u00e0 La Ampuyenta, aujourd’hui connu sous le nom d’Hospitalito de La Ampuyenta<\/strong>, qui fait partie du m\u00eame complexe patrimonial. Ce geste renforce la dimension philanthropique du docteur Mena et son engagement en faveur de l’am\u00e9lioration des conditions de vie dans l’\u00eele. <\/p>\n

    Un espace culturel vivant<\/h3>\n

    Le mus\u00e9e de la maison du docteur Mena fait partie du complexe du patrimoine culturel de La Ampuyenta<\/strong>, avec la maison de Fray Andresito<\/strong> et l’Hospitalito<\/strong>, et offre un voyage unique \u00e0 travers l’histoire m\u00e9dicale, sociale et religieuse de Fuerteventura. Le mus\u00e9e accueille \u00e9galement des expositions temporaires<\/strong> et des activit\u00e9s culturelles li\u00e9es \u00e0 l’histoire de l’\u00eele, contribuant ainsi \u00e0 maintenir vivante la m\u00e9moire collective. <\/p>\n

    Une visite incontournable<\/h3>\n

    La visite du mus\u00e9e de la maison du docteur Mena est un voyage dans le pass\u00e9 pour conna\u00eetre un homme en avance sur son temps, dont la vocation, le savoir et l’humanit\u00e9 ont laiss\u00e9 une marque ind\u00e9l\u00e9bile sur Fuerteventura. Un espace qui nous invite \u00e0 r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir sur la valeur de l’engagement social, la science au service des personnes et l’importance de pr\u00e9server la m\u00e9moire historique de l’\u00eele. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
