About this audio guide
This guide to the Museo de Soldaditos de Plomo L'Iber in Valencia begins on the stone staircase of a Gothic noble palace built at the end of the 1300s, later given a Renaissance-style face-lift by architect Lucas Garcia Cardona in 1893. It follows the building through a courtyard creature nobody has fully identified, hand-carved ceilings, Manises tiled floors, and a stint as a Civil War government office under Juan Garcia Oliver. The Noguera family bought the palace in 1945, before their private collection ever needed room to grow.
