Spanish Cabezo de la Almagra Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins

The Spanish city of <a title="Spanish 'Cabezo de la Almagra' Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins and Gets Rustier with Time" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huelva" target="_blank">Huelva</a> has opened a peculiar new building to exhibit their archeological treasures. Designed by architect <a title="Spanish 'Cabezo de la Almagra' Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins and Gets Rustier with Time" href="http://www.cerrejonarquitectos.com/" target="_blank">Sebastian Cerrejon Hidalgo</a>, the Cabezo de la Almagra Museum and Archeological Park boasts a recycled <a title="Spanish 'Cabezo de la Almagra' Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins and Gets Rustier with Time" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering_steel" target="_blank">weathered steel</a> shell that is in constant transformation. Located atop a historic hill, where many of the archeological remains it holds were found, the building's rusty encasement symbolizes the passage of time while evoking change in a poetic way.

 Rising from the mound, the Cabezo de la Almagra makes a striking contrast to the land with its deep <a title="Spanish 'Cabezo de la Almagra' Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins and Gets Rustier with Time" href="http://inhabitat.com/auklands-ironbank-features-innovative-car-stacking-garage/" target="_blank">rusty</a> color.

The green hill on which the structure sits is imbued with history, seeing everything from Roman to Muslim settlements.

The outside shell and stairs have been made from recycled <a title="Spanish 'Cabezo de la Almagra' Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins and Gets Rustier with Time" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering_steel" target="_blank">weathering steel </a>that gets rustier with time and creates an oxide coating that waterproofs the building.

The structure boasts two levels and a celler, which can navigated by using a set of rusty zigzag stairs.

The lower floor is where the <a title="Spanish 'Cabezo de la Almagra' Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins and Gets Rustier with Time" href="http://inhabitat.com/magnificent-open-skate-park-by-selgascano-brings-cool-and-healthy-playfulness-to-a-spanish-city/" target="_blank">archeological remains</a> are kept.

The top floor can be accessed via ramp, and offers astonishing views to the surrounding landscape, the adjacent University campus and the <a title="Spanish 'Cabezo de la Almagra' Museum and Archeological Park Rises from the Ruins and Gets Rustier with Time" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Tinto_%28river%29" target="_blank">Tinto River</a>.
