Next to the Church of Santa María is Museo Ángel Barrios. This is the house where Spanish composer Ángel Barrios was born in 1882 and lived for most of his life until 1964. Exhibits dedicated to the musician include his instruments and sheet music plus artwork and furniture. Prior to a home and museum, this was a tavern and popular gathering place for intellectuals and artists. It was owned by Antonio Barrios. He is considered to be the last accomplished tour guide (cicerone) of the Alhambra during the 19th century.
