The Archaeological Museum of Granada, set in the elegant sixteenth‑century Casa de Castril, offers a captivating journey through the region’s ancient past. Overlooking the Darro River in the historic Albaicín district, the museum presents a rich collection that spans from the Paleolithic era to the Middle Ages. Its rooms display prehistoric tools, Iberian sculptures, Roman mosaics, and artefacts from the Visigothic and Islamic periods, each piece revealing how different cultures shaped Granada over thousands of years. The Renaissance courtyard and carved façade add to the experience, blending architectural beauty with historical depth. Though modest in size, the museum provides a clear, engaging narrative of human settlement in the province, making it an essential stop for visitors seeking a deeper understanding of Granada’s layered heritage. A visit here complements the city’s monumental landmarks by grounding them in the long archaeological story that came before.
