Museo Arqueolóxico e Histórico, Archaeological museum in Castillo de San Antón, A Coruña, Spain
The Museo Arqueolóxico e Histórico occupies a 16th-century fortress on the coast, exhibiting archaeological artifacts and historical collections from the Galicia region.
The structure opened as a museum on October 5, 1968, following the transfer of the military fortress to the municipality of A Coruña in 1960.
The museum presents three main sections featuring archaeology, medieval art with heraldry, and historical events connected to A Coruña and the castle.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 19:30, with reduced hours on Sundays, offering guided tours and educational programs for schools.
A ceramic mural from 1987 depicts historical episodes of A Coruña, including the Battle of Elviña and the story of María Pita.
