Located in the town of Ullastret, this museum is located in and dedicated to preserving the history of the ancient Iberian ruins located in the town. The town was the biggest in the area and was the capital of a Iberian tribe that lived in the region.
We went mid week and there was hardly a crowd. It was a bit hot walking around the ruins but nothing we could not handle. The ruins in and of themselves are fascinating and are the surrounding views of the adjacent picturesque farmland cannot be beat. Up on a rise it commands near 360 degree views. Its fascinating to try to get a feel for life here back in the day and despite their age, the ruins are pretty well preserved.
The museum is nicely done and fills in the life and times of the residents of the town. Large number of well cataloged and preserved finds from pottery to grooming devices are displayed with explanations. It covers the various civilizations that lived in the area from 600 BC to the late Iberian era.
Depending on you like of ruins you could spend several hours to a full day just looking around. I can't speak to what its like when crowded but we really enjoyed the relative peace and quiet a slow day offered. read more
