Museo de la Reconquista

Museums

The museum of the Reconquest was set up in 1985, by the Moros y Cristianos (Moors and Christians) Festivals Association ‘Santas Justa y Rufina’ with headquarters in the palace 'Palacio de Rubalcava'. When it changed premises in 2003 to where it is currently located, the Festivals Association, proposed a new museum project, which was inaugurated in 2006. There are two main areas, one dedicated to the Moorish group and the other the Christians. Many aspects of the Moors - Christian celebrations, such as the history, the legends, the krewea, the role each had in the celebrations, the music etc. are touched upon in this museum.
