Cáceres Museum, Provincial museum in Old Town, Cáceres, Spain.
The museum occupies two historic buildings, the Casa de las Veletas and Casa de los Caballos, displaying archaeological artifacts and art collections.
The institution traces its origins to 1898 when local scholars began collecting archaeological objects, leading to its official opening in 1933.
The archaeological section presents items from the Lower Paleolithic to Medieval periods, including Roman sculptures from the Norba Caesarina colony.
The museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours during afternoons except for Sundays, and maintains separate sections for archaeology and fine arts.
The Casa de las Veletas features an interior courtyard with eight Tuscan columns and a roof decorated with gargoyles and enameled pottery ornaments.
