Lonely Planet review for Museo de Cádiz

Cádiz’s excellent major museum faces one of the city’s largest and leafiest squares. The stars of the ground-floor archaeology section are two Phoenician marble sarcophagi, carved in human likeness, and a monumental statue of the Roman emperor Trajan, from Baelo Claudia. The fine-arts collection upstairs has 21 superb canvases by Francisco de Zurbarán, and the painting that cost Murillo his life – the altarpiece from Cádiz’s Convento de Capuchinas. The baroque maestro died from injuries received in a fall from scaffolding while working on this in 1682.
