This museum represents the most complete collection of historic Spanish artifacts in the world, with a staggering 33,500 items in total. 

Exhibits include prehistoric artifacts, ancient Iberian items including sculptures and reliefs, Moorish art, Roman antiquities, and archaeological finds from Medina Azahara.

 Located at the Palacio de los Páez de Castillejo, the museum grounds are also home to an archaeological dig site on the premises. Here, tourists will find the city's original Roman amphitheater.

 as well as homes and workshops dating back to the Middle Ages, all of which were discovered long after the museum found its home here.
