For Maradona’s 18th birthday, Argentina Juniors gifted him this house so he wouldn’t have to travel from Villa Fiorito to the stadium every day.

Today the home a museum open to the public.

The home is extremely well preserved, with everything just as he left it. Things that aren’t original, like the living room’s wall paper, have been re-created.

Diego lived here with his parents, four sisters, and two brothers from 1978-1980.

You can see Doña Tota’s kitchen in tact, Diego’s bedroom, and the family’s living room. Upstairs there’s a shrine to Diego with trinkets left by devotees and a small gift shop.

To be sure they’re open when you visit you can make an appointment, details are in their Instagram. Hours are a bit odd (closed Sunday & Monday) so you can also confirm that on their Google Maps page or by messaging them.

I recommend going on a Maradona themed tour to dive deeper into his life and follow his footsteps here in La Paternal.
