Museo Arqueológico and its collection

The Museo de Historia de la Ciudad en Callosa de Segura, located in the province of Alicante, Spain, is housed in a historic building that was once the municipal slaughterhouse, constructed in 1929. This unique location adds a layer of historical significance to the museum, making it an interesting destination for those interested in architecture and history.

Two Distinct Sections of the Museum
