City Museum sights in Europe

  1. A

    Museo de Salamanca

    Housed in the former residence of Queen Isabel's doctor, this museum is more interesting for the picture of tranquil Salamanca residential life in its attractive patios than for the paintings and sculptures within.

    Maison du Patrimoine

    Between 15 June and 15 September, the walled town can also be accessed through this old house, which has exhibits on the town's history – ask for an English-language brochure. Once you're within the walls, rue Vauban and place St-Guénolé outside are enchanting for their old stone houses converted into shops, restaurants and galleries.

    Musée du Château

    Within the Château de St-Malo, built by the dukes of Brittany in the 15th and 16th centuries, is the Musée du Château, also known as the Musée d'Histoire de la Ville (city history museum). The museum's most interesting exhibits – the history of cod fishing on the Grand Banks and photos of St-Malo after WWII – are in the Tour Générale.
