4.5Museo Del Teatro Romano(2.928 reviews) - Make sure you know how to get in before going Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
By visiting the Museum of the Roman Theatre you will encounter one of the most surprising discoveries of the city in the last decades. Thanks to the ingenious design of the architect Rafael Moneo, you will start your tour of the Palace of Riquelme, the first building of the museum, and then follow the historical hallway located under the street to then move to the new space that collects the most emblematic pieces of all found in the excavations. Using modern stairs you will come to the second tunnel, this time is under the medieval church of Santa Maria, a construction superimposed to the old theatre which increases its uniqueness and attraction. After this, the second corridor, will take you to the most relevant part of the museum, the Roman Theatre, one of the largest in the Roman Hispania with capacity for 7,000 people.See more..
Walked to ARQVA, Museo Nacional de Arqueologia, for a great exhibit relating to underwater exploration from the earliest times to present day. Headphones available for the exhibit as well as Spanish and English signage. This exhibit was very well organized and extremely informative.

Marine Archeological Museum has remarkable display of underwater artefacts. Treasure of Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes frigate sunk in the early 19th century with 14.5 tons of gold and silver coins.See more..
We visited a Paso Blanco and were so surprised and delighted to see all the tapestries. Then when our fabulous guide Mari Huertas showed us the church - WOW! If you only have time to visit one attraction in Lorca make it this one. Mari was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and her English is so clear. Thank you Mari for a memorable experience. First rate See more..
4.0Punic Wall(223 reviews) - Remains of Carthaginian Wall Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums
In the Punic Wall you will encounter one of the most important episodes in the history of the Mediterranean, the Punic Wars between the Carthaginians and the Romans. You will meet the legendary past of Qart Hadast founded by the general Hasdrubal in 229 BC and its most significant, the wall, one of the few remaining Carthaginian relics still found in Spain. In addition, next to the wall, you can see the funerary crypt of the hermitage of San Jose built in the 16th and 17th centuries. Its walls offer a very macabre representation of the Dances of Death.See more..
4.5Santa Clara Monastery & Museum(212 reviews) - The museum is a little gem! Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM Speciality Museums
The monastery let us in early and it is worth a look round and it was free. The museum was free and well worth a visit, as i have some limited mobility i was given help to get up and down stairs via a special lift and the help of the security guy. There is also a lift to get to the upper floor. Some of the exhibits were lovely and you can touch some of them which is nice. It gives you a lovely insight into the Moors history and the history of the Monastery. Santa Clara monastery and museum are easy to get to. We would recommend a visit to both and particularly if you have mobility issues. All in all the monastery and museum is well worth a visit.See more..
4.5Museo Azul de la Semana Santa(112 reviews) - Exquisite embroidery beautifully displayed Wednesday: 10:30 AM - 2:00 PM, 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • History Museums
Beautiful embroidery, with appropriate acknowledgement of the skill of the embroiderers, who can be seen carrying out their intricate work.

The museum is built over the remains of a Roman necropolis, located away from the main Roman centre of town. We visited this free museum on a rainy Sunday morning and spent an interesting hour viewing the remains of the necropolis and associated exhibits which include mosaics, tombstones and associated historic finds. There is a small art exhibition on the upper floor.See more..

4.5Museo del Vino(60 reviews) - Delightful! Wednesday: 10:30 AM - 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM Speciality Museums
We have visited this museum once before, on an organised trip, but we decided to visit again with some friends who had not been to Bullas before. It is very nicely laid out, with an initial area that puts Bullas into geographical perspective. From here, you enter an area for a short multi-media presentation. For those of a nervous disposition, watch out for the glass floor! At the end of the presentation, the screens roll up so that you can look down on a staged setting of a working winery. From here, you can go down to inspect the “winery” closer up and then follow through into the exhibition area that tells all about wine making. Back upstairs again takes you into a final area where, if you are on a pre-organised tour, you may be lucky enough to have a wine tasting!See more..
4.5The Siyasa Museum(49 reviews) - Little gem - must visit! Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
On our way to the almond trees in bloom, we made a stop in Cieza to visit this museum. The people at the reception were very friendly and welcoming. We received a brochure and were introduced to the lay-out of the museum. Entrance was free. The building is very modern, bright and open. There are very different and many artefacts from many epochs found in the surroundings of Cieza, formerly called Siyasa. An arab town from the 11nd century was found there and the museum has many original pieces on display. We liked it a lot. Not to be missed!See more..
4.5Templo de San Juan de Dios(49 reviews) - Stunning church in Murcia Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
I done a walkabout tour of Murcia, was very impressed with the city, certainly a very different city to march around, I have done a few Spanish cities, and they are much more open planned, whereas this is all closed in, but really nice too! In amongst is this beautiful church, unfortunately it was closed the day I came here, and the pictures of it's interior look stunning, might be back next summer, so I'll give it a go then.See more..
We attended the English guided tour on a Tuesday. As it turned out, my wife and I were the only couple on the tour that day. The guide was excellent, speaking good English and providing a very well informed insight into the workings and history of the mine. This is an excellent attraction and at €8 a head, extremely good value for money. If you have an opportunity, I would strongly recommend visiting.See more..
4.5Museo Arqueologico los Baños(42 reviews) - Friendly and interesting Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums
The Museum and visitors centre is small but very well done. It explains how Alahama was once a Spa town like BATH and has been for over a thousand years. You can watch film shows and there is often an Exhibition in a separate room by a local artistSee more..
4.5Museo Gaya(39 reviews) - Ramon Gaya Museum - wonderful artist Speciality Museums
Before we went to Murcia we had never heard of this artist. He is a wonderful artist and a son of the city. The museum is housed in a lovely old mansion in Plaza Santa Catalina. We loved his work. There are many paintings on display - including tribute work of his own favourite art works. Murcia City Council gave him the freedom freedom of the city. Both the house and the paintings are really worth seeing.See more..
Interesting to see the gorgeous handicrafts in this lovely building but we were travelling light so could not buy. The rugs especially tempting. See more..
4.0Museo de la Fiesta(32 reviews) - Very Good Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
Our saga tour took us here and it is very interesting indeed. Our guide told us all about the fiesta and the costumes are excellent. Well worth a visit.See more..
5.0Museo Crux Caravacensis(26 reviews) - Great visit! Very Interesting!! Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums
A tour throughout the history of the Cross of Caravaca from the 16th to the 19th century in Germany, Austria, Poland, France, Czech Republic, Italy and the Netherlands. The small copies that are shown in this exhibition arrived in those countries either through some Religious Orders, or carried there by pilgrims who had been drawn to Caravaca and itsmiraculousCross and had decided to pay it a visit. Tradition, culture and religion blend into one another in these unique rooms, where the ineffaceable trace of theCross of Caravaca around the world is shown on their stone walls. This exhibition contains information that has been translated into English, French and German and soon, also into Italian, but we have also gathered data directly from sources written in Czech and Polish.See more..
4.5Bodega Monastrell(25 reviews) - Very professional Wednesday: Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • Wineries & Vineyards

4.5Factoría Romana De Salazones(17 reviews) - Another hidden gem of Roman history in Mazarrón Speciality Museums • History Museums
Hidden in quite a nondescript building we found this delightful museum of Roman archeology, built over the actual Roman ruins of the salt / fish factory. Very well appointed with raised walkways, sections of glass flooring, you can get up close and enjoy the site. Lots of Roman pottery exhibits. Free entry too!See more..
Free entry (with stairs) to a small renovated tower overlooking Bolneuvo. Lovely views from the top along with information about the tower in English. Dates back to 15th century and was built as a watchtower to warn residents about invading barbary pirates. Just a nice bit of history to visit in Bolneuvo. Nice view of the bell. Information of the Virgin lamp too (which is next door in the small church). Local cafes nearby for refreshments. Open most evenings.See more..
4.0Museo del Mar(10 reviews) - Lovely little museum! Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • History Museums
We went here on a Monday, forgetting that everything seems to close on Mondays in Spain! Fortunately, we were met by someone who we presume to be one of the main curators of this small but lovely collection, who was kind enough to show us around for a little while. Not a lot of English spoken if at all, but it's so worth a visit! Lovely little collection of everything to do with the sea around San Pedro and the Mar Menor, from models of the various types of fishing boats to a giant sponge and various other sea creatures. What was by far the most attractive feature was the enthusiasm of the gentleman though! Well worth a little visit, but come any day other than Monday!See more..
Lo mejor Pilar, la guía del centro. Profesional y enamorada de su tierra, gracias x todas las explicaciones y recomendaciones q nos diste de Mazarrón cosa q no hicieron en la oficina de turismo. Muchas gracias.See more..
3.5Museo de la Vera Cruz(8 reviews) - Small museum access to Cisterns Speciality Museums
Small museum that costs €3 each to enter and it allows you access via a guided tour of the 11thc cisterns on the other side of the castle (please ask at the desk as they are locked up. We had a lovely guided tour by a lady who teaches french in the town. She explained that the moat where you access the cisterns was excavated in the 50s. The museum side also goes down to the base of the original moorish towers which is very interesting.See more..
Hay que apuntarse en la oficina de Turismo de Totana para hacer la visita a la Torre. Se accede desde la misma Iglesia de Santiago, y tras un vídeo, se accede a las distintas plantas hasta llegar al campanario, pasando por el coro, el reloj, etc. El guía es excelente, una persona amable que conoce la historia de Totana y responde a tus preguntas, te explica curiosidades y te hace disfrutar de toda la visita. Visita imprescindible para conocer la historia de Totana y de la parroquia de Santiago.See more..
5.0Esparto Museum(4 reviews) - Museo humilde e imprescindible Speciality Museums
Parece mentira que la Región de Murcia tenga abandonado este museo, según me han contado Pilar y Jerónimo (voluntarios que acuden a este local y gracias a ellos se mantiene viva la historia del esparto) el museo no recibe ninguna subvención y esto me parece una canallada por parte de las autoridades pertinentes. Señores políticos, les ruego que echen una manita a este local tan cultural e interesanteSee more..
4.0Museo De Belenes Del Mundo(1 review) - kerststallen uit alle windstreken Wednesday: Speciality Museums Museo de Belenes del Mundo in het plaatsje Ojós in de Ricote vallei is in het bezit van meer dan 200 kerststallen uit de hele wereld. En dit museum kun je niet allen met kerst bezoeken maar het hele jaar door van donderdag tot zondag. Een dergelijk museum is ook prima met kinderen te bezoeken. De entreeprijs is laag en een bezoek hoeft ook niet heel lang te duren. Wij hebben jaren geleden al een kerststallenmuseum bezocht in het Spaanse stadje Astudillo in Castilla y León. Dat was een onvergetelijke belevenis door de bijzondere rondleiding van een non!See more..
4.0Museo De Archena(1 review) - lokale geschiedenis plus wisselende tentoonstellingen Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM Speciality Museums • Art Museums «Museo De Archena» richt zich met zijn collectie op de lokale geschiedenis inclusief enkele archeologische vondsten en andere objecten. De tentoonstelling belicht in vogelvlucht de lokale omstandigheden van de natuur, de prehistorie, de Romeinen, de Moren en de jongere geschiedenis van de streek. De vaste collectie bestaat vooral uit grote panelen met teksten, foto's, krantenknipsels etc. De teksten zijn uitsluitend Spaanstalig wat de doelgroep helaas onnodig beperkt. Engelse vertalingen op de panelen zouden wenselijk zijn. Het museum heeft ook ruimte voor wisselende tentoonstellingen. Bij de entree van het museum is ook een balie van de toeristeninformatie. Wij werden hier uitstekend in het Engels geholpen. De vriendelijke jonge man, José David Brando, gaf ons veel goede tips voor ons bezoek aan de Ricote vallei. Op YouTube vind je een 18 min durende film met dezelfde sympathieke, jonge José David Brando, tevens een kunstenaar, die een rondleiding geeft door het Museo De Archena. Het museum is niet zo heel moeilijk te vinden. Het bevindt zich aan de oostkant van Archena langs de oever van de rivier Segura. Achter het museum kun je langs de rivier in noordelijke richting naar het thermaalbad «Balneario de Archena» wandelen. Dat is een aangename wandeling van ongeveer 45 minuten heen en terug. Wilt u ook de spa bezoeken, duurt het natuurlijk wat langer.See more..
