Museo de Recuerdos de Santa Teresa de Ávila y de San Juan de la Cruz (Museum of Santa Teresa de Ávila and San Juan de la Cruz) Review

The town's top attractions, Museo de Recuerdos de Santa Teresa de Ávila y de San Juan de la Cruz and Museo de Ciencias Naturales (Museum of Natural Sciences)share the same Convento del Carmen's 16th- to 17th-century building. A unique combination of mysticism, science, and art set in a stunning structure, the museums' treasures include medieval wood carvings, paintings by masters Luca Giordano and Sebastiano Ricci, memorabilia from the lives and works of Santa Teresa and St. John of the Cross, and a display of shells, woods, and birds from the Philippines brought back by missionary monks.
