The Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art (CAAC) was founded in February 1990 with the aim of providing the city with an appropriate institution for research, conservation, promotion and dissemination of contemporary art. Only later did the permanent collection begin to form.

In 1997, the Center was established in its current location: the Certos Monastery. The Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art develops an eclectic program of activities for the promotion of international contemporary artistic study and creation.

All this coincides with the setting up of temporary exhibitions, seminars, workshops, concerts, meetings, recitals, film cycles and conferences.

The collection of the Center addresses in particular the history of contemporary Andalusian creativity in relation to other national and international artistic contexts.

Among the artists who are part of the collection are: Lara Almarcegui, María Cañas, Ruth Ewan, Guerrilla Girls, Annika Ström, Federico Guzmán, Leonor Serrano, Olaf Nicolai, Carrie Mae Weems and many others. The cultural offer of the Center is completed by a visit to the monument itself, which houses an important artistic and archaeological heritage, the result of its long history.
