And then, the medieval town, which in 1612 received the title of city from Philip III. These were the beginnings of an urban centre which, after experiencing the boom derived from the sultana trade throughout the 19th century, plunged into a crisis which it was able to turn into an opportunity with the development of a colourful toy industry.<\/p>\n<p>D\u00e9nia, archaeology and museum' also brings together selected works on temporary loan from other museums, such as the <strong>MARQ<\/strong>the <strong>Valencia Cathedral Museum<\/strong>the <strong>Fine Arts and Prehistory<\/strong> of the same city, the <strong>MAN Madrid<\/strong>the <strong>Louvre in Paris<\/strong> -with a <strong>epigraphed marble plaque of the 11th century Vizier Abu Amir Muhammad<\/strong>- or the <strong>Bancaja Foundation<\/strong>with the canvas of <strong>Vicent Mestre<\/strong> <em>The Embarkation of the Moors in Denia Port<\/em>which is part of a series of seven that the, <strong>King Philip II of Valencia and III of Castile<\/strong> commissioned to fix in the historical memory a transcendental event for our land, the expulsion of the Moors between 1612 and 1613.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 La exposici\u00f3n cuenta con la colaboraci\u00f3n de entidades como los museos Catedralicio, el de<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":47605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"kia_subtitle":"El diputado de Cultura inaugura la nueva propuesta, que re\u00fane m\u00e1s de 600 piezas y se podr\u00e1 visitar hasta el pr\u00f3ximo mes de abril","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sin-categoria"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47604"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47604\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47613,"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47604\/revisions\/47613"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marqalicante-admin.qwair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
