Gravina Museum of Fine Arts, Art museum in Old Quarter, Alicante, Spain
The Gravina Museum displays approximately 500 artworks from the 16th to early 20th century within an 18th-century palace building. The collection includes both regional and broader works, featuring paintings and sculptures along with a portrait of Ferdinand VII.
The collection originated in 1838 when regional art commissions gathered works from churches and convents throughout the area. The palace building itself was constructed on ruins left from the War of Spanish Succession.
The collection focuses on works linked to Alicante and the surrounding region, featuring artists such as Francisco Salzillo. Visitors encounter paintings and sculptures that reflect the artistic tradition of this area.
The location sits in the old quarter and is easily accessible on foot. The exhibition spaces spread across multiple levels, so it is worth allowing time to explore the full collection.
The stone of the building comes from a quarry in the Sierra de San Julian range. The material was reused, showing how people rebuilt practically from ruins after conflict.
