Sayalonga Moorish Museum (Museo Morisco)  was opened at 27 October 2006. The museum is dedicated to show the architecture, culture and folk traditions of the Moors who lived in the Axarquía. The visitors could use their five senses in a brand-new experience.

The museum is hosted in a typical Moorish house whose kitchen displays typical utensils and foods and in whose living room visitors will be able to see human models in everyday situations, wearing traditional costumes and doing what people did when the Moors lived in the Iberian Peninsula.

There is an audio/video room where visitors can watch a film (screened in Spanish, English and German) and learn about these peoples and their history, as well as about must-visit sites and monuments.

The museum has also permanenct collections of artists: Adolfo Córdoba (painter, born in Sayalonga), Ana Patricia Radial (painter ) and Eva Guzmán (photographer).
