HALL OF IBERIAN CULTURE

 

 

 

THE CONTESTANIA.

The exhibition begins by situating the Iberian area chronologically and geographically. It highlights the region of the Contestanos, a people who, according to ancient writers, inhabited the lands of Alicante. An interactive application shows us the great wealth of its archaeological sites.

The central space of the room, presided over by the Lady of Cabezo Lucero, is dedicated to the most relevant aspects of the Iberian world of Alicante. An audiovisual is projected on it that animates scenes of Iberian ceramics so that its iconographic richness can be appreciated.

The room includes other interesting topics such as:
- Settlement and the economic, craft and social aspects of settlement
- Religion and the funerary space
- The Iberians and Rome
