Fine Arts Museum
Known also as Museo de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernandois, the museum is located in the spectacular Goyeneche Palace, a finely restored and remodelled Baroque building from the 17th Century. Then it belonged to the local aristocrat Juan de Goyeneche. The museum today houses a rich collection of works of prominent Spanish, Italian and Flemish artists and painters plus many sculptures, etchings, silverware and other valuable objects dating back to the 16th Century.
The most famous exhibits that must be seen include some of the masterpieces of artists like Goya, Rubens, El Greco, Murillo, Velazquez and Ribera. The permanent collection of the museum was started in the remote 1752 during the reign of King Fernando VI and currently comprises approximately 1,500 paintings and 570 sculptures. The Fine Arts Museum also boasts a great number of temporary exhibitions. Entrance in the museum is free for children under 18 and on Wednesday – for everyone.
