Archeology Museum

There´s a square in Sevilla called Plaza de América, which is more commonly known as Plaza de las Palomas, where you can find some of the most important museums in the city.

 

One of those is the Archeology Museum (Museo Arqueológico) which is in front of the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares (Arts and Popular Customs Museum) and next to the Pabellón Real and it´s a Renaissance building that rose between 1910 and 1915 by Aníbal González.

 

The place began to have archeological pieces in 1942 because, previously, they objects used to be in the Convento de la Merced, building which currently holds the Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum).

 

The works and different objects that you can enjoy in the place are the most important ones that Sevilla possesses, and the ones that stand out are the Roman ones that mostly come from Itálica, and Écija, Estepa, Alalá del Río, Villanueva del Río and Miñas. But as well as these objects that were found throughout history, there are also different private donations that also make up the galleries of the museum.

 

If you´re an archeology lover, this is a museum that you can´t not visit. For that, you´ll have to rent apartments in Seville.
