Flamenco Dance Museum
C. Manuel Rojas Marcos, 3, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla
Roman and pre-Roman stone blocks lie hidden inside an eighteenth century vault beneath dance galleries.
This guide to the Flamenco Dance Museum in Seville begins in 2004, when a restoration crew turning a ruined eighteenth-century palace into a museum of Andalusian flamenco struck stone that didn't belong to the building at all. It follows what architect Ignacio Morales's team found wedged into the walls of the barrel-vaulted cellar, ashlars worked centuries before Rome ever built here, and dancer Cristina Hoyos's project to give flamenco a permanent home. Look for the rough, unlabeled blocks still set into the vault's walls as you walk through today.
