Elche

A tour of a millenary city

The Altamira Palace is home to this renewed museum concept.

Discover the ancient artistic heritage of Elche . Under this premise, the Archaeological and History Museum was born, a spectacular and modern venue with high-end technologies. With scientific rigour and in an original, attractive and interactive way, visitors explore the two sections of the museum: The archaeological one, which covers the city's origins until the arrival of the Arab settlers; and the historical one, from the founding of the Muslim city to the present day.

Full-scale reproductions and models, recreations of everyday scenes from ancient civilisations, audiovisual projections, photographs and displays of pieces and objects make up this multipurpose venue which also hosts exhibitions, conferences, workshops and cultural events.
