Museo Goya-Colección Ibercaja
Set in a marvelous Renaissance home in the middle of the city, this small museum focuses on the region’s most famous native son, Francisco de Goya. The first floor features mostly Spanish religious paintings from the 15th to 18th centuries, while a few Goya paintings, including a self-portrait, are highlights of the Sala Goya on the mezzanine. The real attraction is the low-lit second floor prints room, which displays Goya etching series made 1778–1825, including Los Caprichos and the wrenching Los Desastres de la Guerra. The third floor is devoted to little-known (and fairly unexceptional) Spanish artists from the 19th and 20th centuries.
