The exhibition Llúria. Lords and Ladies of the Earth is a tribute to all those men and women, kings, nobles, knights, ladies, artisans and artisans who founded our towns such as Pobla de Ifach in Calp or Cocentaina and Alcoy, founded by the House of Lauria, and who forged the traditions and festivities that we celebrate today, such as the Fira de Cocentaina, started during the mandate of Alfons Roger de Lauria, the admiral's grandson.

DRAMATISED VISITS TO THE PERMANENT EXHIBITION

This autumn they return to the museum

From October to December 2025

Sundays at 12:00h

In the MARQ you can get to know the museum through two characters from different periods, Piraltide and Ibn al-Marq. Piraltide is a young Roman slave girl who lived in Lucentum between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and about whom almost everything is unknown, except that she lived for 27 years and to whom her companion Hermeros dedicated a funerary inscription preserved in the MARQ. Ibn al-Marq brings to life a fictitious male character from the Islamic period, full of wit and good humour. Both will accompany us, for about an hour, through the halls of the museum to show us the permanent archaeological collection of the MARQ from Prehistory to the Middle Ages.
