Cathedral Museum of Ciudad Rodrigo
Located in a setting of exceptional beauty, the Seo Mirobrigense, this museum houses important archaeological collections, among which are prehistoric pieces from the region, some vestiges of its Roman past (including funerary and numismatic pieces), Visigothic slates from Lerilla, with engravings and numbers, which were bequeathed to the Cathedral, and architectural remains of the different construction phases of it.
A second room is dedicated to the liturgy, highlighting a 13th century staff from the Limoges school, a collection of processional crosses and the breviary of Elizabeth the Catholic.
The third room is dedicated to sculpture, with pieces such as a large Hispanic-Filipino Ivory Christ, a carving of Saint Catherine of Alexandria from the 16th century and a series of seated virgins that allow us to know the evolution of this particular iconography. Finally, the rich pictorial section, in which works such as the Cry over dead Abel or a magnificent Saint Michael by Antonio María Esquivel stand out.
The museum is completed in the Pórtico del Perdón, with an audiovisual projected on the reproduction of the old seo altarpiece, painted in the Renaissance by Fernando Gallego. The visit includes access to the Cloister and the Choir.
