The house where José Saramago was born is located in the village of Azinhaga, in the municipality of Golegã, district of Santarém, Portugal.
The Azinhaga House
Location: The house is located on Rua da Igreja, in Azinhaga, a typical village in Ribatejo, known for its landscape of fertile fields and its proximity to the Tagus River.
Foundation: Currently, the childhood home houses the José Saramago Foundation Delegation in Azinhaga, a space of memory that recreates the environment of the writer's childhood and houses a library and an auditorium.
Visits: The place is open to visitors who wish to learn about the roots of the only Nobel Prize winner in Literature in the Portuguese language.
The Lanzarote House
Although he was born in Azinhaga, the writer's most emblematic residence is "The House" in Tías, on the island of Lanzarote, Spain. It was there that he lived for much of his adult life, and where his vast personal library is located; today it functions as the José Saramago House-Museum and is open to the public.
