Museo arqueológico
Description

Located in the Palace of the Children of Don Gome, the Profesor Sotomayor Archaeological Museum is an exciting cultural journey through the archeology and history of this municipality.

The archaeological site of the Villares de Andújar was made known by the archaeologist Don Manuel Sotomayor Muro, because of whom the name has been given to it.

Andujar for its privileged situation has made possible since Prehistory the uninterrupted establishment of the passage of different cultures from Iberian, Roman, Visigoth..., which have shaped our historical legacy.

Casa del Alfarero

Potter's House

Palace of the Children of Don Gome

Description

Located in the basement of the Palace of the Children of Don Gome, it encompasses the extensive and rich pottery tradition that has characterized this land. Not in vain did our pottery origins go back to the famous Roman algar of Isturgi, dating from the 1st century a.C. and that it was the most important center of ceramic production in Hispania.

This cultural legacy was enriched in Arab and Renaissance times, linked to historical events and popular customs, in this way, ceramics will end up becoming a wonderful reflection of the historical reality of which it was witness.

Jardín del Alfarero Museum
Avenida de Andalucía

Descripción

The collection of pieces that make up the Ceramics Interpretation Centre "JARDÍN DEL ALFARERO" aims to raise awareness of the pottery tradition in the city of Andújar from the Bronze Age to the present day.

 

This exhibition, which houses more than 200 pieces of different characteristics, aims to be a space for the exhibition, research, conservation and dissemination of ceramics in Andújar throughout history, highlighting the uniqueness of the forms, techniques and artists who have made this noble craft a form of expression and a way of life that identifies Andújar as one of the primitive centres of production and marketing of ceramics in the Iberian Peninsula.

 

The centre has an exhibition area, an audiovisual area with a video that tells the history of these trades, the origins of which are found in the 5th century in the disappeared city of Isturgi, and an area with an interactive model to learn about the work that was carried out in the Roman potteries.
