Museo de Semana Santa

Castilla y León


Medina de Rioseco is famous for its Easter processions, but if you can't be here during Holy Week, this museum provides an insight into the ceremonial passion of Easter here. Like its sister museum in Zamora, it's dedicated to pasos (floats carried in Semana Santa processions) and an extensive range of other Easter artefacts.
