Info

In a privileged spot on the coast of the Principality, 155 metres above sea level, stands the Jurassic Museum of Asturias (MUJA), a unique museum that, in the form of a large tridactyl dinosaur footprint, houses one of the most complete and didactic exhibitions in the world on these fascinating reptiles.

Almost 2,500^{m2 of}exhibition space, reproductions, skeletons, fossils... take us into the discovery of the ages of the earth and the way of life of these fantastic animals that inhabited the Asturian coast millions of years ago.

The MUJA garden also houses more than 20 life-size dinosaur replicas, which are a great attraction for children.
