The 10 Best Art Museums in Castile-La Mancha, Castile-La Mancha
Castile-La Mancha, a Spanish land of craggy cliffs, golden fields and red soil, produces savory Manchego cheese, olives, saffron and more than its share of mystery. Chase the enduring legend of Don Quixote among the windmills of Campo de Criptana. Pass through the Bisagra Gate to experience the walled city of Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage site that pays stylistic tribute to the Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultures. In Guadalajara, palaces and Baroque churches capture the imagination.

This is a spacious and well set-out museum, once a hospital. Set out in the form of a large cross, each section takes you through a period of Spanish history, with associated art-works, paintings, sculpures, etc. It has several paintings by El Greco / the El Greco school. You can also visit the central patio and there is a permanent exhibition upstairs of pottery from the Iberian pensinsula. |t's a bit hard to find, down the steps and turn left past the statue at Zocodover Sq. The building itslf is beautiful.

The Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca exhibits a permanent collection of 129 paintings and sculptures by Spanish artists of the Abstract Generation of the 1950s and 60s (Millares, Tàpies, Sempere, Torner, Rueda, Zóbel, Saura, among some thirty other artists), as well as other artists from the 1980s and 90s.In 1980, the founder of the Museum, Fernando Zóbel, donated its collection to the Fundación Juan March, which then incorporated it into its own collection. Situated in the Casas Colgadas (Hanging Houses) of the city of Cuenca, in a late-fifteenth-century medieval building, property of the city, the Museum has undergone various renovations and, in 1994, inaugurated its galleries for temporary exhibitions.

This is one of the best modern art galleries we have visited. The collection is not large but each piece shouts quality. It is very well laid out with plenty of space for each exhibit, and many very interesting pieces. The collection is housed in one of the hanging houses in the old town of Cuenca, which adds to its interest. There was no entry charge, but we would willingly have paid. It was such a treat.

This museum has three floors of valuable exhibits and they belong to different churches in the Cuenca Region. Each floor shows the expression of Christian faith over time starting from 16th-18th Century. I liked the treasure chamber as you can see different gold and silver work pieces. The tapestry display on the main floor was also very impressive.
