Archeological Museum of Seville - by Cindy Marroquin on Google
Description
*** CLOSED FOR RENOVATION UNTIL 2026 *** The Archaeological Museum of Seville includes collections spanning the Prehistory and Protohistory period in the area of Seville on the ground floor and the Roman Era through to the Early Modern Period on the first floor. The museum is housed in the 'Renaissance Pavilion' designed by architect Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. Many of the Roman artefacts come from the site of Italica, a few kms north of Seville. The highlight of the collections is the Carambolo Treasures (gold jewellery, gold coins and ceramics from the 6th century).
Access & Transport
Address: Plaza América, Sevilla The museum is situated at the southern end of the Parque de María Luisa There are bus stops on Paseo de las Delicias, Avda. de la Palmera and Avda. de la Borbolla The closest Metro and Tram stops (M1, T1) are 15mins' walk away: 'Puerta Jerez', 'Prado de San Sebastián' and 'San Bernardo'. The latter is also a train station (C1, C4, C5) The closest car park is "Muelle de las Delicias".
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with a visit of the of the Parque de María Luisa and Plaza de España or the Seville Aquarium just across Paseo de las Delicias.
Environmental & Social
Minor environment impact to run the museum (electricity). Positive from a social perspective by helping spread culture and preserving the archaeological artefacts
Conclusion
The Archaeological Museum is another excellent cultural attraction in Seville and will allow travellers and residents alike to learn and see more about an earlier historical period than the one on display in the center of the city and all its monuments. The near absence of entry fee and attractive venue are additional draws.
