    An oasis of serene beauty adjacent to the main pedestrian thoroughfare of central Murcia. It's a pity that there's no access to the gardens though the views through the huge windows along the ornamental pool and flower beds is stunning. The moorish artwork and architecture stand out, the rather garish Christian works less so. Free entry and pleasant folk make it even more worth the task of trying to find the slightly obscure main entrance.

    (Translated by Google) The location of the museum is important to be visited. The site if visited early is idyllic. Arab traces of the location are respected at all times, as are Catholics. For me it was a great discovery. (Original) La ubicación del museo es importante para ser visitada. El sitio si se visita a primera hora es idílico. Se respeta en todo momento los rastros árabes de la ubicación al igual que los católicos. Para mi fue un gran descubrimiento.

  • 5/5 KHF W. 2 years ago on Google
    I love religious relics. It's interesting and beautiful. Paintings, wood carvings etc. The best, you have a view of the backside of the altar within the museum. Unfortunately I did not have too much time as I came short before closing time, 20min. The other part of the museum is for archaeological findings.

  • 5/5 Johan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great museum with Arabic or Muslim style, good historical place for seeing beautiful architecture and knowing about lifestyle in that epoch

  • 5/5 Joanna W. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 harly M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice kept nice patio but is not accesible why 3*, because I am not in religious and there were statues of kids nicely dressed and santuary articles that is not much of my thing. It should be great for someone who knows and likes it. Very nice lady at the entrance.

  • 5/5 Raul M. 1 year ago on Google
    A small yet amazing museum. I can't believe it's free. It has two sections: Andalusi items (i.e. from Spanish Islamic times) and religious Catholic items. Both are very interesting. The building itself is an architectural jewel. To top it all, during Christmas time the nuns create the most fascinating and complete nativity scene I have ever seen. Not to be missed.

  • 4/5 Vince C. 1 year ago on Google
    An Amazing Belem (Nativity) Tableau made by the Nuns. It's free to enter, but you will have to wait until next Christmas

    (Translated by Google) Julia, the guide who has led us on the visit, has been charming and has passionately passed on her knowledge about the origin and history of the city. It has been generous enough to extend the visiting time, which has also passed very quickly. It is a must for everyone who visits Murcia. (Original) Julia, la guía que nos ha dirigido en la visita, ha sido encantadora y ha sabido transmitir con pasión sus conocimientos sobre el origen y la historia de la ciudad.

  • 5/5 Tomás Escolano F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wonderful museum of the Muslim era and the reconquest. The first floor contains two Muslim palaces from the thirteenth and thirteenth centuries and artistic pieces found in them; the second is dedicated to Christian works that belong to the convent that occupied the place of the palaces after the reconquest. The museum is quite good and the guided tours are of the highest quality, and also free. 100% recommended. (Original) Maravilloso museo de la época musulmana y la reconquista. La primera planta contiene dos palacios musulmanes de los siglos XIII y XIII y piezas artísticas encontrados en los mismos; la segunda está dedicada a obras cristianas que pertenecen al convento que ocupó el lugar de los palacios tras la reconquista. La musealización es bastante buena y las visitas guiadas son de buenísima calidad, y además gratuitas. 100% recomendado.

  • 5/5 María González G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is fascinating to visit something like that in the center of Murcia. The pool area is impressive, especially on a hot sunny day. Visits are in a group, but you can join a group that has a visit at that time. Also as a museum it is a jewel; You can see several sizes of Salzillo and other very valuable works of art. Highly recommended. (Original) Es fascinante poder visitar algo así en el mismo centro de Murcia. La zona de la alberca es impresionante, especialmente en un día caluroso y soleado. Las visitas son en grupo, pero puedes unirte a un grupo que tenga visita en ese momento. También como museo es una joya; se pueden ver varias tallas de Salzillo y otras obras de arte muy valiosas. Muy recomendable.

  • 5/5 D. Q. D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A wonderful visit to the Museum of Santa Clara. Regardless of the fact that it was the only visitor, the sensations of being within those ancient walls are something unique in addition to the Arab and religious heritage that it treasures. Being on the first floor and finishing the visit, I heard that mass began in the church of the same monumental complex and I went to it, being one of the most heartfelt and saddest that I have ever been to, even so it was worth it since the Iglesia de las Clarisas has something very special. You have to visit everything (Original) Una maravilla la visita al Museo de Santa Clara. Independientemente de que era el único visitante, las sensaciones de estar entre esos milenarios muros son algo único además del patrimonio árabe y religioso que atesora. Estando en la primera planta y terminando la visita, oí que comenzaba la misa en la iglesia del mismo conjunto monumental y fui a ella, siendo una de las más sentidas y tristes en las que he estado nunca, aún así mereció la pena ya que la iglesia de las Clarisas tiene algo muy especial. Tenéis que visitarlo todo

    (Translated by Google) Well, in July and August they have reduced hours, they only open a little while in the morning. A very ineffective way of promoting tourism. Again it will be because the photos and comments are good (Original) Pues en julio y agosto tienen horario reducido, solo abren un ratico por la mañana.
