    Walking through the streets of the old town, we accidentally stumbled on this Museum, although before that it searched and could not find it is the same place where square with a mosque, and the archaeological museum, the only entry on the other hand, it's all in the old town. Admission is 4 euro for one. Exhibits are located on two floors. I liked everything, especially the second floor, my husband was a bit boring. But visit it recommend!
