This little museum is right at teh Plaza Major. It is well laid out and very interesting. The pirctorial elements along witht eh artifacts emans you don't need very good Spanish to get the gist of the information. There is no English translation. The courtyard is beautiful adn the out buildings give soem otehr insights in developmetn over time. More

This was a pleasant visit, we got a guided tour and it made the objects more interesting. The building itself is worth seeing in a good spot in Plaza Mayor. More

We rather fell in by mistake but were eagerly shown around. Unfortunately the artifacts and displays are little understated and could not bring a relatively dull subject to life. More

Even if you are not interested in architecture or buildings, this is one interesting place to visit.

This is well worth a visit, demonstrating Colonial style architecture. It has a beautiful courtyard. BUT, wait until you see the shower. Our modern ones usually only spray from above, BUT, this one sprays from above, each side AND below!!! Now that is a shower! More
