About Archaeological Museum of Seville
Housed in the ornate 1929 Exposition pavilion in Parque de María Luisa, this museum displays the finest collection of Roman antiquities in Andalusia, including stunning mosaics and bronzes from nearby Italica.
The Museo Arqueológico de Sevilla occupies the Renaissance-style pavilion built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition in the Parque de María Luisa. The museum contains the most important collection of archaeological finds in Andalusia, spanning from prehistoric times through the Roman era. The highlights are the extraordinary finds from Italica, the Roman city near Seville where Emperor Hadrian was born: floor mosaics of extraordinary quality depicting mythological scenes, bronze statues of Trajan and Hadrian, and domestic objects that bring Roman daily life vividly to life. A special gallery contains the Carambolo Treasure, a set of pre-Roman gold objects of extraordinary quality discovered in 1958, representing the Tartessian civilisation that flourished in southern Spain before the Roman conquest.
Did you know? The Roman city of Italica, whose treasures fill this museum, was the birthplace of two Roman emperors, Trajan and Hadrian, making it the most imperially significant city in Roman Hispania.
