Josephine Quintero reports

Situated within the beautiful Renaissance Palace of the Paéz family, this museum has Iberian, Roman, Visigothic, Muslim, Mudéjar and Renaissance pieces. The Roman collection is particularly fascinating.

During its original conversion, this small Renaissance mansion was revealed as the unlikely site of a genuine Roman patio. It is now one of the most imaginative and pleasant small museums in the country with an excellent local collection and a particularly outstanding inlaid tenth-century bronze stag found at the Moorish palace of Medina Azahara.

The whole of the ground floor is dedicated to Roman archeology including mosaics and sculptures.

The first floor is dedicated to Moorish artifacts many from the nearby ancient city of Medina Azahara.
