Carrilero Museum

Located on the ground floor and in the basements of an old house from the first quarter of the 17th century that belonged to Don Luis de Gadea Sahajosa, which served as a Guardia Civil barracks for many years. Sculptor José Carrilero Gil was born here in 1928, and in this very place the Town Council of his hometown has honored him by creating a monographic space that contains part of his acclaimed work.

José Carrilero’s artistic work is characterized by a constant focus on the human figure, treated in a voluminous way but with soft modulations and delicate textures; cuts; grooves; and drawings that, applied to the volume, achieve a highly original bronze sculpture. Among the works on display, the female torsos stand out, as do the large figures seated or in motion such as The Catwalk and The Balcony, the sketches and anatomical studies of the head and face, as well as the magnificent trio of musicians located on the façade of the Museum itself.
