Culture
Archaeological Museum
Maga
The collection in this Archaeological Museum takes us on a journey from the Upper
Paleolithic to the Roman Age through a display of flint, bone and stone exhibits
found in the surrounding areas. Amongst all the exhibits, what stands out the most
is the Paleolithic art from the “Cova del Parpalló” (Parpalló
Cave) and decorated pottery from the “Forat del Aire Calent” (Hot Air
Fort). Personal belongings such as necklaces and bracelets made from bone and metal
were discovered in the “Cova de Bolta” cave. There are also tomb stones
from the Roman Age in a very good state of conservation.

Museum of Ceramics and Sacred Art
Ducal Palace
The Ducal Palace collection is focussed around two themes: ceramics and sacred art.
The first exhibition consists of tiles corresponding to the Casa de los Borja. The
adornments of the Salón de Coronas composed of tiles from Manises from the 15th
century, are considered to be one of the most important elements of the history
of Valencian ceramics. However, the Ducal Palace also contains the crucifix of San
Francisco de Borja, an object of enormous emotive and artistic value. A visit to
this noble house reveals six centuries of the history of the Palace of the Borja
since each one of the rooms contains different elements from several architectural
styles, such as: Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance and Neo Classical.
