This super museum was designed by top Spanish architect Rafael Moneo. The tour transports visitors from the initial museum on Plaza del Ayunatmiento via escalators and an underground passage beneath the ruined cathedral, to the magnificent, recently restored Roman theatre dating from the 1st century BC. The tour and layout of the museum are designed to reflect Cartagena’s fascinating layers of urban history and include Roman statues and artefacts as well as the cathedral’s crypt and remains of an original Moorish dwelling.
