Museo Casa de los Tiros

About

The Museo Casa de los Tiros, set in the historic Realejo district of Granada, is one of the city’s most atmospheric cultural spaces. Housed in a sixteenth‑century fortress‑like palace known for its striking façade and carved “shots” that give the building its name, the museum explores Granada’s identity through art, history, and local tradition. Inside, visitors find a rich collection of paintings, manuscripts, furniture, and decorative objects that trace the city’s evolution from the Renaissance to the Romantic era. The celebrated Cuadra Dorada, with its gilded wooden ceiling and portraits of heroic figures, captures the spirit of Granada’s noble past. Moving through its intimate rooms feels like stepping into the cultural memory of the city, where legend, craftsmanship, and daily life intertwine. The museum offers a quieter, more reflective experience than Granada’s major monuments, making it an ideal stop for travellers seeking a deeper connection to the city’s heritage.
