　　The cathedral museum displays religious artefacts but is most striking for the excavations on display: the remains of an 11th-century Moorish dwelling and of a small mezquita (mosque), evocatively visible below a sturdy glass walkway. Guided visits include an ascent of the bell tower, with a night-time option in summer.

Museo Catedralicio

　　The cathedral museum displays religious artefacts but is most striking for the excavations on display: the remains of an 11th-century Moorish dwelling and of a small mezquita (mosque), evocatively visible below a sturdy glass walkway. Guided visits include an ascent of the bell tower, with a night-time option in summer....

Museo Arqueológico

　　The Museo Arqueológico has exceptionally well-laid-out and well-documented exhibits spread over two floors, starting with Palaeolithic times and including audiovisual displays. The trendy cafe with pleasant outdoor seating is a popular spot. ...

Jardín Floridablanca

　　The classic, small but beautiful Jardín Floridablanca has several magnificent banyan trees distinctive for their massive spread of thick woody roots, as well as jacarandas, cypress trees, palms, rose bushes and shady benches, plenty of them, for contemplating the view. ...

Museo de Bellas Artes

　　An inviting, light gallery devoted to Spanish artists. Much is mediocre, but the 2nd-floor Siglo de Oro gallery has two fabulous Murillos – a Crucifixion and an Ecce Homo – and a powerful chiaroscuro San Jerónimo by Ribera. Look out for the faintest shadow of his tame lion. The 3rd...

You can wander in and investigate the comparatively sober patio and a grand staircase. Another door leads to a Baroque chapel with the consecrated host on 24-hour...

Real Casino de Murcia

　　Murcia’s resplendent casino first opened as a gentlemen’s club in 1847. Painstakingly restored to its original glory, the building is a fabulous combination of historical design and opulence, providing an evocative glimpse of bygone aristocratic grandeur. Beyond the decorative facade are a dazzling Moorish-style patio; a classic English-style library with...

Catedral de Santa María

　　Murcia’s cathedral was built in 1394 on the site of a mosque. The initial Gothic architecture was given a playful baroque facelift in 1748, with a stunning facade facing on to the plaza. The 15th-century Capilla de los Vélez is a highlight; the chapel’s flutes and curls resemble icing. The...
