A very important attraction of Alicante is represented by its museums. Those who love art, architecture and culture will find in the list of Alicante’s museums a series of names from which they can learn a lot; this is the reason why the museums of Alicante occupy important places on the sightseeing list of the city.
One of the most popular museums in Alicante is the MARQ. MARQ is the Archaeological Museum of the city, built in 1932 and moved to another building in 2002, the building that initially hosted the San Juan Dios hospital. MARQ is a very distinguished museum in Alicante if not the most distinguished one due to its spectacular avant-garde style and modern audiovisual techniques.
The combination of these two brought the museum a special prize in 2004: the year’s ‘’European Museum’’. A spectacular number of objects are displayed here: no less than 80,000, all of them discovered in the Alicante area during the centuries. The objects date back to the Stone Age, the Roman Era or to the Medieval Era. Some of the collections are hosted for just a short period of time, so make sure you include the visit to the museum on the list of your activities because it completely deserves your attention!
