🏛 What Is the MARQ Museum?

The museum is divided into different historical periods:

• Prehistoric and Iberian Culture – tools, pottery, and cave art

• Roman Alicante – mosaics, coins, and daily life artifacts

• Islamic Period – ceramics, architecture, and cultural elements

• Christian Middle Ages – weapons, religious items, and Gothic details

• Temporary Exhibits – often focused on Mediterranean or global archaeology
