Traveler reviews
P. Villa
★★★★★3 months agoDid the guided tour for free. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind, answering all our questions. The CCCC itself is amazing. Definitely worth a visit, even if a quick one to see both cloisters and the Islamic floor. Gorgeous place.
CJ
★★★★★2 months agoContemporary art museum with a different exposition each month. Entrance is free, yet its not overcrowded. Well maintained, great location in old town with restaurants nearby. It has lockers which work with 1euro coins and there are plenty of bathrooms. Its only possible to enter with a car the old town if having permit. None the less, there is no parking.
