The “Treasure of Carambolo”


This museum occupies a neo-Renaissance style pavilion built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929.

The archaeological collection from the Museum of Fine Arts was moved to this facility in 1942. The tour begins with the Lower Paleolithic and ends in the Middle Ages, with Arab and Mudéjar materials; and features interesting intermediate stages such as that of the Roman world. On the ground floor of the museum you can see, in chronological order, materials from prehistoric sites in the province of Seville. Among its collections, the “Treasure of Carambolo” stands out, from the Tartessian era, which has a monographic room on the first floor. It shows a reproduction of the magnificent gold treasure in relation to its original context: a sanctuary dedicated to Phoenician deities.Temporarily closed for construction.
