Sites of Interest:
The museum has 4 areas where the Iberian, Roman, Muslim and Christian periods are exhibited.
We must point out the flask for balsam representing the god Mercury (2nd.c.BC), the collection of Islamic bronzes, many of them of oriental origin (11th-12th c.), the ataifor representing an Andalusí vessel coming from Qayrawân, the Treasure of les Rotes, from the 15th c., the coin collection or the local production of Andalusi ceramics, make up the base of the Museum’s collection, which is always linked to the sea and to the relationship between cultures.

Historical Interest:
The Archaeological Museum building dates from the 17th c. Its construction as a lookout or gallery was a part of a leisure and recreational area next to the temporary palace of the Marquis of Dénia. At the present time, the original Stone Room and the first floor are still preserved.

The enclosure has 190 m2 and exhibits the city’s development in several rooms, from its first origins to the 18th century.
Its history and archaeology are linked to the port’s activity and to its existence as a fundamentally trading city, with its vessels sailing all around the Mediterranean.

Ethnological Museum:

It presents the evolution of Dénia throughout the 19th century and how it was linked to the dry raisin trade.

The Museum is housed in a typical 19th century bourgeois house.

• Opening hours: 10.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. It closes on Sunday afternoon and Monday.
  
  
• Entrance: Free.

Sites of Interest:
The museum has an interesting collection of vintage bourgeois luxury clothing and ornaments, including working clothes and tools. We can also observe examples of town planning development, both commercial and social.

Historical Interest:
The objective of the Ethnological Museum is to disseminate the knowledge of local history throughout the 19th century, a time when Dénia lived a special dynamic and splendorous era due to the dry raisin trade. Dry raisin, as the economic motor of Dénia, was the reason behind a well deserved planning development and created a cultural atmosphere and a consolidated bourgeois society, which enjoyed the time’s innovations: train and gas, amongst others. Vine cultivation, the dry raisin production process, the role of the port and warehouses, fluctuations and the heyday of trade with England, Northern Europe and America are the thread this museum offers you to follow. Graphic pictures, the arts and other demonstrations, being the building a fine example in itself, picture a long gone city and customs, although still very much alive in memory.

Points of interest:
There is a wide variety of vintage toys reminding us of the importance of this trade since 1904.
Metal toys and, above all, wooden toys describe the period’s toy production, which produced from a fleet of cars and pedal planes and other engines with wheels, to sail boats, carriages, lorries reproducing the great land transport of the time, wooden kitchens, a game of bowls or rings, etc.

Historical Interest:
The first 1904 toy company in Dénia only manufactured tinplate lithography toys, with machinery and models imported from Germany.
Ten years later a factory producing wooden toys opened its doors, with fine turned and varnished examples with exquisite finishing, decorated with metallic elements.

A wooden toy production arose in the 1920s in competition with the development of metallic toys. In due course, wooden toys became Dénia’s seal and trademark.

The 1950s par excellence toys were wooden. There was, of course, a thriving production of tricycles, bicycles, pedal cars and skates, which had already begun in the first decades of the century, and although there also was a luxury production of pedal cars, planes and metal carriages, wood and the colours in which it was painted became the local production’s seal, reaching widespread popularity during those years

Amongst the toys models we must point out sail boats, horse carriages or an indolent donkey, lorries, etc. Wooden kitchens, bowl games, ring games or forts with cowboys and Indians are a reminder of the heyday and variety of Dénia’s wooden toys.
