So this is a small Jewish museum as well as a performing arts center of sorts. They have a flamenco…read moretheater every night at 8PM/20:00. We did not visit the museum, unless you count the gift shop. We did however attend the flamenco theater. The play is about a poem written by a respected Granada writer. The poem is about incest and rape, so not a very happy play. The performance is an interpretation of the poem with the use of music, song, and flamenco dance. There's not a lot of participants (two dancers and two musicians) and the venue seats about 20 people. The performers are very humble and true thespians, performing solely to entertain and enjoy their craft. Very talented performers so I would recommend this if you are in the mood for something a little bit different and unique.

We saw two flamenco shows while in Granada, and this was by far the better. The singers, dancers…read moreand guitarist were all magnificent. Not much ambience, given the auditorium layout, but the show was to die for. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

One of my favorite things abut this museum (unless I am getting it confused with one of the many other museums we visited in Spain) was that they had these portable folding chairs that you could borrow and carry around some of the galleries, returning before you moved on to the next floor. How I wish that all museums had something like that!! It was so nice to be able to stop and contemplate a painting from time to time while resting on this portable seat. Other museums, please take note of this affordable amenity that will significantly enhance your guests' experience!!

This museum was open late so we popped in during our post dinner walk around Cordoba. When we…read moreapproached the ticket counter the staff member informed us that admission was free that evening which saved us 1.5E each. The museum was contained in two buildings. We started upstairs in the modern building which showcased many sculptures, statues, coins and more across Cordoba's history. The highlight were two bronze statues from the Roman era that were recovered by police and just restored in 2024. In the basement we walked above the excavated ruins of a Roman Theatre which would have been the largest in Spain. The Palace of Paz de Castilleja was located next door and we just showed our ticket stub to enter. Unfortunately it was dark and lighting was done so we only had enough time to walk through the courtyards and see the Roman mosaics. Overall a very good museum to checkout while in Cordoba with an admission that can't be beat.

I would not go out of my way to come here, but if you're in Cordoba and looking for some culture, this is a decent bet. They have a really nice collection of Roman columns from the 1st and 2nd centuries, some Roman mosaics, and there are the ruins of a Roman theater in the basement, but that's not super impressive since it is basically just ruins and you can't even really tell what it used to be because it was mined for materials in later years. Only downside to the visit was the rather surly desk attendant who was not very customer service focused.

I have mixed feelings about the Medina Al-Zahara experience. I mean, it's an AMAZING site - how…read moreoften do you get to see a 10th century city?! My review is more about the curated experience, I suppose. The experience begins with a movie (with subtitles) that does a great job explaining the site and its history, and there's a truly terrific museum next to the auditorium that is well-curated and well-laid out. But the actual archeological site can be a bit hard to really understand, and it's so far from the museum (you take a green bus to get there) that it can be hard to remember what the spaces you are seeing were actually used for. The placards that are out in the field are pretty dry, and I found myself wishing for interactive displays at the site to bring it to life a bit more, and to explain what the site itself reveals about life in 10th century southern Spain. I could imagine some really cool displays that show where the vessels, jars, and bowls from the museum were actually found. I just wish some of the smart, technologically sophisticated museum displays had made their way to the archeological site. Moreover, I found the constant payments -- for the bus to the site, for entry to the site, for the green bus that takes you from the museum up the hill -- kind of annoying and I wish they had rolled it all into one fee. It's worth seeing, but hold in mind that it isn't flawless.

How did the moroscos, gypsies (Roma/Gitanos), and early Christians--hiding from enemies over the centuries--actually live? The emphasis here is on Sacromonte's more recent 19th century heritage rather than medieval. An especially nice feature is the emphasis on the area's ecology--insects, plants, topography--and the cave dwellers' lives building on the assets nature had provided. Charming, helpful personnel run the museum.
