Museo de Bordados del Paso Blanco

Attached to the church of Santo Domingo, this is the museum of the Blanco (White) Semana Santa brotherhood. Here you can see a collection of the beautifully elaborate hand-stitched robes worn by them during the passionately supported Holy Week processions. They are well displayed and extraordinary, depicting scenes from the Bible and antiquity, with video footage of the robes in use. Don't miss the room with the most historic pieces up the back. If language coincides, the guided tour (included) is recommended.

You might be advised to put the sunglasses on for the shiny baroque gold of the adjacent chapel of the Virgen del Rosario.
