Museo Salzillo.
The name of Francisco Salzillo
is indisputably linked to Murcia. Although his father Nicolas was originally
from Naples Franciso was born in the region in 1707 and died in 1738. At
the time of his death he had carved around 1,800 wooden images in the baroque
style, all notable for their expressiveness and wonderful use of vibrant
colour. Examples of the sculptor's work are on display in the Museum and
during Holy Week at Easter many form part of the religious processions.
Also on display in the Museum is a fabulous crib made up of some 500 figures.
The Museum is located at Calle de San Andres, 1. Phone. 968.29.18.93.. |
