Set in a restored sixteenth-century palace in the historic center, this museum displays a collection of nineteenth-century Spanish painting, with an emphasis on Andalusian scenes and romantic landscapes. Its galleries trace costumbrista genre painting, luminous coastal views, and portraits capturing regional life. The building preserves a fine Renaissance courtyard, and archaeological remains were uncovered during its restoration. It complements the city's modern art with a focus on the preceding century.
