Archaeological Museum of Granada, Archaeological museum in Albayzín district, Granada, Spain
The Archaeological Museum exhibits coins, pottery, weapons, and tools across seven galleries within a Renaissance palace with a central courtyard.
The museum occupies Casa de Castril, a building constructed in 1539 by Hernando de Zafra's heirs, who served as secretary to the Catholic Monarchs.
The collection spans from Paleolithic tools through Roman artifacts to medieval Islamic objects, representing the different civilizations that shaped Granada.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 09:00 to 21:00, with free entry for EU citizens and a 1.50 euro fee for others.
The balcony of Casa de Castril features an unexplained inscription that reads 'waiting for her from heaven' in Spanish.
