About

Its collection reflects the deep spiritual and artistic heritage of the region, showcasing Gothic sculptures, medieval altarpieces, illuminated manuscripts, and liturgical objects that reveal the craftsmanship and devotion of past generations. Each room is arranged with care, allowing visitors to appreciate both the artistic detail and the cultural context behind the works. The museum’s atmosphere is calm and contemplative, enhanced by the surrounding cathedral architecture and the quiet charm of the island.
