Museu Arqueològic de Gandia, Archaeological museum in the Hospital de Sant Marc, Gandia, Spain
The Archaeological Museum of Gandia occupies a medieval Gothic building and displays objects spanning from the Stone Age through the Iron Age. The collection includes pottery, tools, and other items discovered at excavation sites throughout the surrounding region.
The museum was established in 1972 within a former hospital that the Borja family built during the Middle Ages. This connection to the powerful local family remains part of the building's story today.
The exhibits here tell the story of how people lived in this region thousands of years ago through objects found in local caves and archaeological sites. These artifacts show the daily life and skills of ancient communities that inhabited the area.
You do not need much time to see everything here, as the collection is modest in size, but it is worth moving slowly through the rooms. The building itself with its medieval features is just as interesting as the objects on display.
Part of the collection comes from Parpaló Cave and holds one of Europe's largest collections of portable Stone Age art. Visitors can see how distant ancestors expressed themselves through carvings and small sculptures that they created thousands of years ago.
