YUSUF AL BURCH ARABIC MUSEUM HOUSE

CASA MUSEO ÁRABE YUSUF AL BURCH

It is a 12th century Arab house. A different visit not to be missed.

 

Located on the cuesta del Marqués, next to the Plaza de San Jorge, it is an original house dating from the 12th century. Acquired and restored by Mr. José De La Torre, ( جوزيه البرج) he discovered inside it Arab and Roman remains and decided to keep it and fit it out so that tourists could see how life was at that time. It was opened as a museum in 1976 with the presence of the ambassador of Iraq and since then it has been open to the public for anyone who wants to visit it.

 

Inside, among other rooms, there is a cistern, Roman baths, a wine cellar, a garden, etc.
