Museo de Albarracín

Albarracín


This well-designed museum explains Albarracín's fascinating history in absorbing detail in Spanish. Displays include archaeological finds from the castle, which have contributed much to the understanding of the town's history.

Opposite the museum's entrance, the 17th-century Ermita de San Juan was built on the site of Albarracín's former synagogue.
