Descripción de los recursos museográficos:

The Museum describes the history of Segovia through 1500 objects, from the city and the province, in a building that was a slaughterhouse between the 15th and 20th centuries. In the archaeological section, among many prehistoric, protohistoric and Roman artefacts, there is an outstanding collection of objects made in precious metals, recovered from Visigoth necropolises in Segovia.
