Museo de San Isidro, Archaeological museum in La Latina, Madrid, Spain.
The Museo de San Isidro displays archaeological artifacts spanning 500,000 years of Madrid's history from prehistoric times through Roman occupation to medieval development in a historic building.
Officially opened on May 15, 2000, the museum was established by consolidating collections from the former Archaeological Institute and Municipal Museum to preserve Madrid's archaeological heritage.
The museum serves as a repository of regional cultural identity through religious relics, ancient tools, pottery, and detailed models depicting the daily life of Madrid's ancient inhabitants.
Entry to the museum is free with opening hours Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM, wheelchair accessible facilities, and extended summer hours available.
The museum features the Miracle Well linked to San Isidro's legend of saving his son from drowning and houses a 16th-century Renaissance courtyard within its historic building.
