The Aracena Geological Museum (Huelva), situated on the Cerro del Castillo in the town, is an innovative venue dedicated to raising awareness of the geological heritage of the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche, as well as other regions. Making use of the premises of the former Municipal Depot, it was opened on 26 June 2025, following its conversion into an educational and interactive space.
- LOCATION: Cerro del Castillo, next to Aracena Castle and the Priory Church, in a geological site of significance due to its proximity to the Gruta de las Maravillas.
- CONTENTS: It displays a collection of minerals, fossils and rocks donated by Francisco Orden Palomino in the 1980s, which has since been expanded with new items. It includes:
- Four themed galleries: Mineralogy, Palaeontology, Geology and the Dark Room, the largest in Europe for observing fluorescent minerals in a dark environment.
- Interactive and educational experiences, using 3D technology, suitable for all ages.
