Museo Provincial de Lugo
About This Museum
So I'm wandering through Lugo's old town, right near the ancient Roman walls, and I stumble upon this incredible museum tucked away on Plaza de la Soledad. It's not just one building but a fascinating mix—the heart of it is a beautiful, old monastery that just oozes history. Inside, you get this amazing journey through time, from prehistory all the way to the 19th century. The way they've laid it out makes you feel like you're uncovering secrets layer by layer.
Collection Highlights
You absolutely have to see the stunning gold torcs (massive Celtic neck rings), the intricate Roman mosaics they dug up locally, and a surprisingly touching collection of sacred art from forgotten rural churches.
Visitor Information
Best part? It's free to get in! Just check their opening times online as they can change with the seasons. It’s a perfect rainy-day activity after you’ve walked the walls.
Architecture & Building
The main building is this gorgeous, weathered stone monastery with peaceful cloisters, seamlessly connected to a much more modern and minimalist wing.
