Museu de Tortosa

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:34:08

Within a splendid blue Modernista building, decorated with gold trim and white checkerboard designs, lies this rather minimalist town museum. The 1908 building is worth ogling: formerly a city slaughterhouse, its design has delicate Moorish elements. Within, the museum does a great job of contextualising the area's history, from traces of early Iberian settlement through to the disorder and revolution from the 18th century onwards. From October to April, the museum operates afternoon hours of 4pm to 7pm.
