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.
