Housed inside the early 17th century Fuerte de San Diego that protected the harbor, the Acapulco Historical Museum gives a good overview of local and Mexican history from pre-historic to the 21st century. It particularly focuses on the trade between the Spanish colonial empire and the Far East, which originated in Acapulco.
