This museum is a little difficult to find but well worth it. Amazing to see the ruins they have discovered, learn history of the area and see denari from the time of Christ. A very diverse display. More

Lovely museum, looks like it had recently moved into a new building, built above the remains of an old Roman theatre, parts of which you can explore in the basement. More

This museum is well worth a visit and is well presented. The museum presents life in ancient Granada and the surrounding province. Of particular interest is the layout of the ruins of a Roman theatre located in the basement of the Museum. The museum in located in a small shady plaza that also has a cafe, one that appears to...

This new museum was practically deserted the morning we visited. It is new and the exhibits are beautifully arranged to tell the story of important people and events in Cordoba's history. In the basement is an excavation site of an old Roman amphitheater. There are cleverly designed walkways through this site which allows you to actually be in the centre... More

This is a new and attractively laid out museum which gives you a good idea of the various phases of Cordoba's history. It was almost deserted when I went there. At the lower level there is an archaeological site. More

This is a relatively small, but outstanding museum, housed in a swish new building with the remains of Roman Theatre in the basement (not the villa depicted on the photos on this page). It's locally focused - all the artefacts have Cordoba connection - but tells the story of this historically crucial city in a wider context. Unlike so many... More

Good presentation of the history of Cordoba with very valuable displays from different historical periods. I was impressed by the fact that the museum is built on top of the excavations of the old Roman Theatre, with even a 3-D video reconstruction as explanation. It is free to EU citizens so I did not have to pay. More
