Córdoba Archaeological Museum

About

The Córdoba Archaeological Museum offers a captivating journey through the many civilizations that shaped the city, from prehistoric settlements to the splendour of Al‑Andalus. Housed in a Renaissance palace built over the remains of a Roman theatre, the museum seamlessly blends architecture and archaeology. Its galleries display an impressive collection of Iberian sculptures, Roman mosaics, Visigothic artefacts, and Islamic ceramics, each piece revealing a different chapter of Córdoba’s long history. One of the highlights is the partially excavated Roman theatre, visible beneath the building and offering a rare glimpse into the city’s ancient urban life. Thoughtfully curated and rich in detail, the museum provides an engaging and accessible way to understand Córdoba’s cultural evolution, making it an essential stop for anyone seeking to explore the city’s deep historical roots.
