The Regional Archaeological Museum of the Community of Madrid, housed in a restored 17th-century building in Alcalá de Henares, presents the region's history from the Paleolithic through the Middle Ages. Its extensive collection includes the famous 'Dama de Galera' (a 4th-century BC Iberian sculpture), Roman ceramics, and Visigothic metalwork. Visitors can explore themed galleries with interactive exhibits, such as a recreation of a prehistoric burial and a medieval pottery workshop. The museum's strength lies in its chronological breadth and the high-quality artifacts that illustrate everyday life, trade, and belief systems across millennia.

Don't miss

  • The 'Dama de Galera', a striking Iberian limestone bust with intricate jewelry
  • A full-scale model of a Roman villa with frescoes and household items
  • The Visigothic hoard of gold jewelry and belt buckles from the 6th–7th centuries
