The Interpretation Center of Alcalá Medieval is spread across three floors: the ground floor, the first floor, and the basement. These floors are organized with informative panels featuring plans and photographs, interactive monitors, and display cases. The ground floor narrates the city's origins, tracing its evolution through different settlements to the present day. The first floor is solely dedicated to the Middle Ages, showcasing the various religions that coexisted in the Burgo de Santiuste and the growth of the city around the Church of the Holy Children. The basement focuses on the evolution of the medieval town, highlighting the establishment of the University of Alcalá and the recognition of Cisneros' work, leading up to the Renaissance period.
