Numantine Museum of Soria

8 Paseo el Espolón, Soria, Castilla y León

Description

The Numantine Museum of Soria displays archaeological artefacts and artworks from the province of Soria. It is named after the Celtiberian settlement of Numantia, about 6km away. It covers various time periods starting from the Palaeolithic and running through the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Celtiberian, Roman, Muslim periods, and the Middle Ages. Artefacts include (inter alia) utensils, weapons, pottery, tools, sculptures, and tombstones.

Access & Transport

The museum is situated in the centre of town, across the main road (N-234) from the Plaza de Toros and adjacent to the Paseo el Espolon (promenade). There is street parking near the entrance.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with the Monasterio de San Juan de Duero, less than 2km away to the east of town.

Meta review

The museum isn't well known outside of the region and attracts good online reviews, but not more than that. Visitors feel it is particularly handy for learning more about Celtiberian settlements and the Roman invasion but mention that it could do with some modernization and better lighting in certain rooms. The size is just right for children and the cheap or free entrance gets the thumbs up.

Environmental & Social

Low carbon footprint. Educational and preserves the regional cultural heritage

Conclusion

Those with cultural inclinations and going through the town of Soria should pay a quick visit there. Interesting but don't expect to be awed.

Key positive

Good overview of the region's history

Free / cheap admission

Key negative

Nothing really impressive

Suitability

Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility (lifts)
