Museo Provincial Ignacio Agramonte

Top choice in °ä²¹³¾²¹²µÃ¼±ð²â


Named (like half of °ä²¹³¾²¹²µÃ¼±ð²â) after the exalted local War of Independence hero, this cavernous museum, just north of the train station, is in a Spanish cavalry barracks dating from 1848. There's some impressive artwork upstairs, including much by °ä²¹³¾²¹²µÃ¼±ð²â locals, as well as antique furniture and old family heirlooms.

The art collection features both 19th- and early 20th-century art such as the haunting work of ³¦²¹³¾²¹²µÃ¼±ð²â²¹²Ô´Ç Fidelio Ponce and artes plasticos (modern art) by nationally renowned figures like Alfredo Sosabravo.
