This is a great museum, more because of its contents than the container. What is even more impressive is that it is free, at least for EU citizens! The biggest highlight is of course the sarcophagus from the Phoenicians, inmacutely preserved and displayed. The one from the lady even had some decorative bronze eye lashes! The paintings are also interesting, and although there are no world-knowns masterpieces there are plenty of Murillos and Zurbaran's Brilliant place lots to see unfortunately we had to have a flying visit but will return next time. Staff were very helpful and friendly. 👍🏻👍🏻 Far better than I expected. Good welcome, despite my poor Spanish the team really helped us get started with the audio tour and how to navigate the exhibitions. Worth a visit if you're interested in military history. Lovely, naval museum. Air conditioned and guided tours available. Great exhibits and well organised. - not a lot of English spoken and only some interpretations translated but a worthwhile visit. When the guide isn't a simple guide but a passionate historian the visit becomes an experience. Ana is the real jewel of this maritime with her historical knowledge as well as her technical one. Albeit this is the first maritime in Spain it isn't the biggest or most complete so I strongly recommend you to take the guide at 10.30 and 12. And it's free! Loved it here. The was built in 2016 so the facilities are great. Plenty of different things to look at. Staff also very friendly upon arrival. I have a degree from university and studied the main periods of on display (1400-1800) extensively so I found it fairly easy to understand despite speaking very little Spanish but I think it may require a little more detail/context for someone with less knowledge of the era. Hot-diggity-darn, this is place is free* - just remember that it closes at 1400! The staff was friendly and helpful, to the point that the director of the chased us down to tell us about the free audio guide (he has just started his tenure and served in the navy previously). The audio-guide is will get you through the at a steady pace and with unexpected dynamism. Very helpful since not all the descriptions in the have English translations. The expositions are great, covering a lot of Spanish naval as well as the noble art of crafting model ships. Indeed, the has a pleasant array of models in addition to full size uniforms, guns, and tools. All in all, well worth a visit. It took us about two hours and even my friends with very little interest in or military stuff were impressed. *You are encouraged to make a 3 Euro donation per person. In the end we decided that dropping a 20 was more appropriate. Nice with free entrance The is excellent. The tour by Ana sparked my further interest due to her knowledge and enthusiasm. Additional information was provided by Toñia, a helpful attendant. I had recently finished reading El Asedio, by Perez Reverte, as well as the first 10 volumes of the Episodios Nacionales of Perez Galdóz— and the helped bring to life these novels! Recommend this place is a must to see. A wealth of and artifacts to see and explore.
