Fodor's Review:

Bernardo Zafra, secretary to Queen Isabella, once owned this richly decorated 16th-century palace. Before you enter, notice the exquisite portal and the facade carvings depicting scallop shells and a phoenix. Inside is the Museo Arqueológico (Archaeological Museum), where you can find artifacts from provincial caves and from Moorish times, Phoenician burial urns from the coastal town of Almuñécar, and a copy of the Dama de Baza (Lady of Baza) a large Iberian sculpture discovered in northern Granada Province in 1971 (the original is in Madrid).
