A Virtual Open Air Museum; 3,000 Years of History; Murcia’s intense historical tradition, benefits from the infusion of colonising cultures, for the enjoyment of visitors. The abundant remains and archaeological sites include, rock-paintings in cave-shelters dating back to the Iberian period. Ampitheatres, Roman, Iberian, Phoenician, Carthaginian, Byzantine & Arab ruins & remains. Visigothic cities, Arab medinas, medieval castles, watch-towers, churches & temples. The history & culture of Murcia is unique in Spain.
This heritage can be admired in many natural settings where the monuments themselves were erected, or within the Region´s complete network of museums. Murcia is thus likened to a rich printed fabric, upon which History has been depicted for our contemplation.
