Seville has many top quality museums, recognized not only for their contents but also because they are housed in buildings of great beauty and historic importance.
Some examples include the Museo Arqueológico (Archaelogical Museum), located in the Rennaisance pavilion built by Aníbal González for the 1929 Latin American World's Fair, a structure that holds many pieces from the Itálica.
The Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art) situated in the emblematic Monasterio de Santa María de las Cuevas (Monestary) on the Isla de la Cartuja (Cartuja Island).
The Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum), located in the Antiguo Convento de la Merced (Ancient Convent of Mercy).
Here one can contemplate true masterpieces of painting, or the famous Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), the albarrana tower, built by the Almohades and the seat of the Museo de la Marina (Sailors Museum).
