Situated in calle Conde de Aranda number 16, this museum offers us the chance to study the local area’s history from as far back as the Neolithic period from the end of the year 3000 b.c. (findings located from the cave C-6 de Cabo Cope), until the present time.

Amongst the most interesting pieces, special attention should be paid to the archaeological Roman collection. The majority of these objects come from the archaeological excavations carried out in Águilas during recent years, in which archaeologists have been gathering information regarding the Roman settlement found under the old part of the town.

Given its importance to the current population of Águilas we can highlight, the remains found in the mountain of the castle of San Juan de las Águilas during the 18th century.

In the centre of the sea’s interpretation, also found within this museum, is a small exposition in which one can find an aquarium exhibiting a variety of the area’s species, along with a number of other objects related to the sea, decorative articles, fishing equipment, models of local fishing systems, and a collection of knots.

Museum of Archaeology

Housing a display that best characterises the current aguileño carnival: day time carnival, fantasy, feathers and sequins; night time carnival, talent and impudence. The carnival’s key characters: Muse, Don Carnal, Dña. Cuaresma and Mussona. The exposition also looks into   the carnival of days gone by, for instance; the town’s crier, the confetti of egg shells. It is without doubt that these characters perfectly symbolise our carnival, now declared a national Tourist Interest.
