Merece la pena la visita. Os recomiendo la visita guiada. Hoy estuvimos en la de las diez. Nuestra guía fue Laura. La visita es de 45 minutos pero estuvimos tan cómodos y la hizo tan bien y fue tan profesional que duró hora y media. La visita guiada es gratuita y se entiende todo y se ve de otra manera. Muchas gracias.

El Museo de Santa Clara es un tesoro patrimonial extraordinario que combina arquitectura conventual, arte sacro y vestigios arqueológicos islámicos en un mismo espacio museístico fascinante. Este antiguo convento del siglo XIV alberga una de las colecciones de arte religioso más valiosas de la región, con tallas, pinturas y orfebrería de gran calidad artística que abarcan varios siglos. Lo más impresionante del museo son los restos del Alcázar islámico del siglo XIII descubiertos bajo el convento, incluyendo un hermoso patio con alberca y decoración mudéjar original perfectamente conservada que muestra el esplendor de la arquitectura andalusí. El claustro barroco es igualmente notable, con su elegante galería de columnas y su ambiente contemplativo. Las visitas guiadas son muy recomendables para comprender toda la riqueza histórica y artística del lugar. El precio de entrada es muy razonable. Un museo imprescindible para entender las capas históricas de Murcia.
