Visit Almunecar's Museums

The Phoenicians discovered and settled the town of Almuécar about three thousand years ago, and it is located in the westernmost region of the Costa Tropical. Almuñécar has been populated by the Greeks, Romans, and Arabs and today is still somewhat isolated from the more commercialized portions of the Costa del Sol. The town has become a magnet for people desiring a genuine Spanish experience and a trip back in time through the exploration of its museum.

Seven Palacios Museum

Near the castle, the Casco Antiquo, often known as Almunecar's "ancient town," is where you'll find the archaeological museum. The building was built in the first century A.D. when the Romans lived in the region.

The vaults that were constructed produced a dome-like effect that the natives named "caves." Some of these caves are still occupied today. According to popular belief, the official name of the museum, "Cueva de Siete Palacios," refers to the "caves" and a central "vault" feature that is spanned by seven other smaller vaults.
