Museums of Alicante

Alicante’s museum scene spans from antiquity to modern art. The MARQ Archaeological Museum offers award-winning displays of local history, while Lucentum preserves the ruins of a Roman city. MACA houses 20th-century masterpieces in a 17th-century granary. Unique specialized sites include the Volvo Ocean Race Museum, documenting world-class sailing, and the Museo del Agua, set within 19th-century cisterns carved into Mount Benacantil. The MUSA, located within Santa Barbara Castle, explores the city's evolution, and the Lonja del Pescado serves as a cultural space in a former fish market.
