Description

Housed in the 1929 World Exhibition's Graphic Arts Palace, the intriguing Archaeology Museum of Catalonia provides visitors with an in-depth view of both the culture of Catalonia and the cultures from across Spain. From the 5th- to 3rd-century BCE statues of Phoenician Goddess Tanit from Ibiza to the 53,200-year-old human jaw found in Sitges, and the beautiful Roman mosaic of Les Tres Gràcies (The Three Graces), unearthed in the 18th century, the museum has a wealth of artifacts from the Balearic Islands, the Greek and Roman city of Empúries (Emporion), and the region's prehistoric inhabitants.
