Un lugar imperdible si visitas Girona o si te interesan la historia y arqueología Ibérica. El recinto está muy bien conservado, tiene detalles preciosos por descubrir y admirar en sus columnas, pisos, techos, etc. En el piso superior cuentan con una esquina lúdica para niños, los carteles están bien explicados, abarcando del Neolítico al periodo romano, con amplia variedad de objetos, aunque algunas de las descripciones de piezas únicamente están en Catalán. Me sorprendió descubrir parte de la historia Ibérica y sobre todo las piezas que tenían en el museo. Una grata visita.
