Museo de San Gil

Castilla-La Mancha


This beautifully laid out museum is in the Romanesque Iglesia de San Gil. The church itself is perhaps the main ‘exhibit’ with its Mudéjar ceiling and plateresque door. Lined up in its naves you’ll find religious art along with small sections on archaeology (arrowheads mainly) and palaeontology (fossils).
