What museums are there in Benidorm?
There are only 2 museums in the city, although from our point of view they are very interesting because of the subject matter. Read on to find out which ones they are!
Boca del Calvari Museum
The location of this artistic center is striking, since it is right in the center of all the bustle of the streets of the historic center. The building that houses it stands out for its modernist art.
They are temporary collections whose themes cover contemporary art and the history of the municipality. Among the artists exhibiting in this museum we would like to highlight Óscar Tusquets or Rosalía Banet.
During the summer, you can visit it from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday to Sunday, admission is free!
L’Hort de Colón
This is a house museum that belonged to one of the most important families in the area, the Zaragoza Ortuño. It was donated to the city council in the eighties, but with the condition that a small orchard was built, hence its name.
Just above the door you can read “Colón”, the name of a ship that was captained by Vicente Zaragoza y Ortuño. He was a very popular historical character due to his economic activity: the construction of ships.
In LOCK & enjoy! we recommend you to visit it, since it is a building of the time and you can know how the houses were inside. However, to visit it you have to book in advance by calling the town hall.
