Museum Collection of Archaeology and History

Located in the former Casa Palacio Marqués de Tamarón, built in the eighteenth century, this recently created museum space contains 13 rooms, where a sample of archaeological collections are exhibited to learn about the historical evolution of the municipality from the Paleolithic to the present day. It also has rooms of fine arts, where the Julia Relinque collection stands out. The building itself, renovated a few years ago, is worth a visit. It has a trapezoidal floor plan that contrasts with the harmonious Neoclassical façade. The façade of the first floor and mezzanine is formed by a series of attached pilasters that frame the openings of the façade and of the cantilevered windows. A cornice separates the upper body, which has a central balcony over the doors and windows. The grillwork adds harmony to the set of openings and blind walls. It is accessed through a hallway to a courtyard composed of four semicircular arches resting on four columns. Its central palm tree, a common indoor Kentia, planted in 1879, exceeds the height of the building. More information: 956 553 399 / www.vejerdelafrontera.es / www.turismovejer.es
