Cueva de Sietepalacios, Archaeological museum in Almuñécar, Spain
The Siete Palacios Cave contains a series of interconnected vaults forming the basement of a former Roman palace near San Miguel Castle.
Romans constructed this architectural complex in the 1st century AD by building a platform supported by vaults to create additional space in the city.
The museum exhibits archaeological findings from various civilizations, including an Egyptian vessel with hieroglyphics from the reign of Pharaoh Apophis I.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM and 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, with reduced hours on Sundays.
The structure features a central vault intersected by seven shorter ones, which led locals to name it the Cave of Seven Palaces.
