Museum of La Rioja
Museo de La Rioja
A free regional museum in the 18th-century Espartero Palace, telling the history and art of La Rioja from prehistory to the present day.
The Museum of La Rioja is housed in the Espartero Palace on Plaza San Agustín. This Baroque palace was once the residence of General Espartero, a 19th-century Spanish regent. The exhibits cover archaeological finds, medieval religious sculpture and altarpieces, 17th- to 19th-century paintings and La Rioja's folk traditions, all displayed in a clear, modern layout. Admission is free, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It sits right beside Calle Laurel, making it a good visit before dinner.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat approx. 10:00 am–2:00 pm and 4:00–9:00 pm; Sunday mornings
