Full description

Museo Geominero displays minerals, rocks, precious stones and fossils inside a grand central hall with iron balconies and a glass roof, dating from the early 20th century. Upper floors are reached by spiral staircases in the corners of the room.

Reviewers say the building is spectacular, the mineral displays are easy to follow, and the staff are friendly, with local and international specimens on show. Entry is free.

One reviewer suggests needing a few hours, though a typical visit runs about 45 minutes. Opening hours are limited to mornings, so it fits best early in the day.

Huge display of rocks, minerals and precious stones. The building is beautiful. Access to the upper floors is by spiral staircases in the corners of the room. Very friendly staff, clean toilets and it’s free!
