The Nerja Museum

The Nerja Museum is located right in the middle of town in the Plaza de España, just behind the town hall and tourist office. It houses three floors of interesting relics that have been found inside the nearby Nerja caves, including a full sized female skeleton dating from the Paleolithic era.

You will also find information about the history of Nerja, how it has changed over the years, and its strong cultural Andalucian heritage.
