Museum of the Royal Artillery Factory

The Museum of the Royal Artillery Factory displays an extensive collection of historical artillery pieces, manufacturing equipment, and military artifacts that illustrate the evolution of weaponry technology over several centuries.

Established in 2006 within the historic building of a former Royal Artillery Factory, this museum preserves the industrial heritage of arms manufacturing that supported Spanish military defense efforts throughout various historical periods.

The museum celebrates the regional contribution to Spanish military history through exhibits that honor the workers, engineers, and craftsmen who dedicated their skills to artillery production and national defense capabilities.

Open Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 to 14:00 during October to May, with weekend hours extending from 11:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00, while summer months offer additional evening accessibility.

Housed within authentic factory buildings where artillery was once manufactured, visitors can observe original machinery and production spaces that provide direct connection to Spain's military industrial past.
