Museo de la Ciudad de Antequera

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:34:15

Located in the town centre, the pride of the Museo Municipal is the elegant and athletic 1.4m bronze statue of a boy, Efebo . Discovered on a local farm in the 1950s, it is possibly the finest example of Roman sculpture found in Spain.

The museum also displays some pieces from a Roman villa in Antequera, where a superb group of mosaics was discovered in 1998. The collection includes a treasure trove of religious items, containing so much silver that you can only visit by guided tour on the half-hour.
