Museo Arqueologico de Granada

The Archaeological Museum is located in the Albaicin district and has remains from all the ages, since the Paleolithic. It is located in a palace (Casa de Castril) built in 1539 and has Plateresque decorations on its façade. It most interesting exhibit is a beautiful bronze Roman statue of a man in a toga. The title of this work of art is “Togado de Periate”. There is also a very interesting gallery of the Moorish times.

I´m writing this on 12/10/10 and the Archaeology Museum is closed, and has been for some months.  The guide who told me did not know when it was going to open again, so it may be worth checking before going there - unlike me!  Toni
