In this paper we present an individualised study of a group of pieces connected very directly with the world of pilgrimages in general, and in particular with the saint Menas, patron saint of Christian Egypt from the 4th century onwards.

The movement of the sun in the sky, the succession of days and nights, the astonishing spectacle of millions of stars shining in the blackness of space, were questions that preoccupied man ever since the light of intelligence shone in his mind. This is a brief history of their astronomical discoveries up to the Middle Ages
Throughout its history, the National Archaeological Museum has treasured Gothic funerary monuments of great artistic and documentary value of great artistic and documentary value that express, through their iconography, the values and beliefs of the late Middle Ages values and beliefs of the late medieval period. This study focuses on three of these monuments, belonging to to some highborn women who undertook great funerary projects to perpetuate their fame and that of their lineage fame and that of their lineage by displaying their power.
The history of science records the existence of sublimators in the Byzantine world from the time of the Lower Empire, but none are known to exist in material form, the oldest being one described in a 13th century manuscript. A growing number of brass pieces have been brought to the Museum, and their chronological attribution to the 9th century AD is certain. A ceramic piece found in the excavations at Pechina (Almería) allows us to simulate its use and date.
It has often been assumed that the origin of the population in the Sierra de Guadarrama had to do with the logging of the forest. However, the analysis of the documentation in this article demonstrates that such permanent settlement had to do with pastoralism, resulting in the repeated construction of resources that still exist and are awaiting in-depth study.
To speak of Silos and Limoges is to consider a fundamental chapter in the history of enamelling in medieval times.
In recent years, new lines of research have been developed that allow us to broaden our knowledge of the Jewish quarter of Toledo. In this sense, this work focuses on a subject that has been little dealt with in the literature, namely the funerary use of the space of the Tránsito Synagogue. To this end, it describes the unpublished results of two archaeological campaigns (1987-1989 and 2001-2002) in the Great Prayer Room (14th century), which was transformed into a church and cemetery (15th to 19th centuries) and is now the site of the Sephardic Museum. The publication of this work also brings to light the osteological results of a group of individuals who were buried in this place in modern and contemporary times.
The aim of this study is to research and analyse the 15th-century panel paintings in the National Archaeological Museum, whose artists’ names are well known. These works reveal the stylistic evolution of the Spanish schools, in which the Italo-Gothic, International and Flemish artistic currents are represented.
Summary of the guided tour offered by the Museum in the context of International Museum Day, in which ICOM proposed to reflect on the value of museums for the construction of a fair and sustainable future, advocating the creative potential of culture as an engine of recovery and innovation in the post-Covid era. During this day, our Museum proposes to reflect on the present by looking back to the past and analysing two moments of crisis and change that were crucial for the future of our culture. These moments took place during the final stage of the Roman Empire and in the transition between the High and Late Middle Ages. In both cases, a complex and difficult situation was transformed into an opportunity for adaptation and change.
Excavations in the necropolis of Turmiel. A group whose components are useful determinants of an activity, that of the labourer, perhaps related to the profession of the deceased or his economic interests, but which in any case allow us to establish the existence of a specialised activity around which the Greco-Latin calendar based on the growth of crops revolved.
