Museo Azul de la Semana Santa

Reviewed By H8051BZkarenk - Vron, France

After having visited the Museum of embroidery of the White Brotherhood, we were also very curious to see the collection of the Blue Brotherhood. Again, amazing what a pieces of art are made by hand by a few women of the village. In this museum you can also visit the workshop where you can see all the stages of making these marvellous 'dresses'. We were the only visitors, so we could see everything at ease.

Like the Blue Museum of Holy Week, this is a similar look close up at the incredible workmanship and detailed embroidery done for Holy Week each year. Do not miss the attached gleaming chapel!

Castle Of Lorca

The Castle of Lorca is the hallmark of the city, symbol of power and the incessant struggle between the Nasrid kingdom of Granada and the Crown of Castile. The castle-fortress is a place where history is lived first hand through exhibitions, workshops for the whole family, guided tours and extraordinary activities throughout the year. In this space, Ben Sakar (the Hawk's Son), the virtual mascot of the castle will show you scenarios as emblematic as the walls, the stables, the cisterns, the Tower of the Spur, the Tower Alfonsina or the Jewish Synagogue.

A wonderful place to visit, we went for the longer tour and enjoyed seeing the Jewish Synagogue as part of this trip.

Lorca Taller del Tiempo

In medieval Lorca the castle, and under the protection of the Alfonsina Tower, housed the Jewish quarter of the city. The excavations of this neighborhood have made it possible to know the Jewish houses of the time, with a rectangular floor plan, compartmentalized in rooms, and which can be used for living rooms, kitchens, warehouses and other rooms with different uses. Benches attached to the wall, tinajeros, cupboards, raised alcoves, etc. In lorquina Jewry the Hebrews established their synagogue, an exceptional example of Jewish religious art in Spain. The temple was built underground because according to the laws of the time it could not exceed the height of the churches and this, together with the fact that it was never converted into a Christian temple, has allowed the synagogue to remain in an exceptional state. The Archaeological Park of Lorca Castle has been conceived as a space to enjoy the finds excavated in the Jewish quarter through a walk through the streets of the archaeological remains of the Jewish quarter, discover how were their houses, their trades and traditions, And the feeling of Jewish spirituality with the visit to its exceptional synagogue.

Reviewed By Mojaquera - Mojacar, Spain

Excavations located on the grounds of the Castle/Parador gives a glimpse into ancient times. You must pay for a g uided tour of this old Jewish quarter and tours are only scheduled three times a day. The guide was very good (Ruben) and even gave the explanations in English. The area is mostly ruins but they have added renovations to what was the synagogue.

Museo Arqueologico de Lorca

Reviewed By rogerpwood7 - Hexham, United Kingdom

This well laid out museum covers the history of the Lorca area right back to 3500 BC with excellent displays and the main info boards in English as well as Spanish. Upon arrival the guide at the desk gave us an excellent overview of the different areas within the museum and answered a number of our questions, we then followed his advice and the helpful signage through the different rooms for a really enjoyable and informative couple of hours. Highlights were the ancient tomb finds and the wonderful coin and medal collection. Not to be missed!
