Me ha encantado conocer este sitio, los recepcionistas muy simpaticos te lo explican todo muy bien . es imprescindible ir a este sitio para conocer la historia de Almeria y ver las estupendas vistas que tiene desde la terraza. Repetire seguro

Super widok na Almerię oraz Alcazabę..w szybki, przystępny i skondensowany sposób można dowiedzieć się wiele interesujących rzeczy na temat historii i dnia dzisiejszego Almerii. Na uwagę zasługują zwłaszcza makiety oraz filmiki "ubrane" w ramy obrazów na poszczególnych piętrach...
Polecam! (Szczególnie, że dla obywateli UE wstęp jest wolny).

Debería haber algo como esto en todas las ciudades. Te explican de forma breve y resumida la historia de la ciudad, pasando por las diferentes etapas. Interesante tanto para adultos como para niños que quieran saber más acerca de Almería.

An excellent visitors' centre for the understanding of Almeria

Not too easy to find, but well worth the effort!

It should be easy - it is in the Plaza de la Constitucion (aka Plaza Vieja), but the entrance is easy to miss as it's behind a pillar and inconspicuous with a large modern wooden door.

You go into the Plaza from Calle Jovellanos Calle Marin end, past the Convent on your left and it's right at the beginning of the Plaza, on the right.

The two employees there – a young man and woman – couldn't have been more helpful. They suggested (rightly) that we should first of all watch the short – 12 minute – introductory film in the ground-floor viewing room. It was fascinating, giving us an understanding of the history of the town and how it has developed.

We then went up the beautifully designed staircase to the other levels, each of which was devoted to one era of the history of Almeria, with a variety of different types of display – pictures, objects, maps , multi-media displays.

There was a great model of the town which, instead of being set out horizontally was set on the wall, going up several storeys.

The first floor was Muslim Almeria – obviously the one that seems at first most interesting. And it certainly was interesting, fascinating. The second floor was Christian Almeria, the third floor Almeria Today.

We enjoyed them all, although I must admit (shhh!) that one of the best bits was on the multi-media screens, where the Spanish-to-English translations were a real hoot! They had clearly just used a dictionary for any word that wasn't covered in their (equivalent) GCSE course, so for example the Convent of the Poor Clares was translated as the Convent of Egg-Whites, and a ten-story building became a building of ten plants. :-)

When you have lingered at your leisure in the three levels, keep on climbing, as you are in for a surprise.

On the very top is a roof terrace, but not just any old roof terrace – it goes on top of the museum building itself, along on top of the next two, round the corner to the next side of the square and all the way to the Ayuntamiento (town hall) building. A whole side and a half of the square!

Great views from up here of the town overall and of the Alcazabar. Get your cameras out!

Closed Mondays. Tues - Sun 10 to 14 and 17 to 19

This museum was a great visit, and free. Only 4 stars however, as they could have done with better and more English for foreign tourists. I don’t need it, you might.

A good synopsis of the history of Almeria
