Alhama de Murcia

The municipality extends at the base of Sierra Espuña and La Muela mountain ranges, with defense towers and renaissance buildings throughout its territory.

Romans established thermal baths in the first century AD, while Moors later developed the settlement around a twelfth-century castle on a rocky hill.

The Archaeological Museum Los Baños presents exhibitions of regional artists and maintains collections documenting the thermal springs' extended usage through centuries.

The town hall organizes regular guided tours from the tourism office, providing visitors with detailed information about local archaeological sites and monuments.

The territory contains preserved snow cellars from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, located in the elevated sections of Sierra Espuña.
