Museum of the history of Lerma
The museum shows the history of Lerma, not just in terms of its
events, monuments and most important people, but also in relation
to the flora and fauna of 3000 years ago, the fiestas held in
the 17th century, how people dressed, the food they ate, etc.
This is done using panels and rigorous reproductions of, for example,
a Roman oven, a pilum and one large-sized reproduction of the
siege of Castillo; mannequins dressed in the clothing of the Spanish
Golden Age; the portrait of the Duke of Lerma on horseback and
watercolours on the villa of Luis Cervera Vera.
