Take a trip through Spain’s magnificent and rich history at the National Archaeological Museum of Spain. Home to invaluable pieces of Spain’s heritage, the items on display at the museum have been gathered from all over the nation to present visitors with the most complete picture of the country’s history possible. Many of the museum’s main draws are over 2,500 years old and yet have been kept so well and restored so fantastically that they look almost brand new. Predating the Roman period, these Iberian treasures and sculptures are bound to draw a gasp of amazement from all those who see them. Make sure to see the Lady of Elche, a beautiful bust that features a detailed headdress and coils, and the Treasure of Guarrazar, an incredible Visigothic set of votive crowns and crosses that date back to the 600s.
