Museo Diocesano

Albarracín


The 18th-century Bishop's Palace, adjoining the cathedral, houses this rich collection of religious art, which is a cut well above your average church museum.

The six huge tapestries depicting the biblical story of Gideon stand out, as does a strange Italian salt- or incense-holder of engraved rock crystal and gems, in the shape of a fish.
