This site was inhabited from the Neolithic until the late Visigothic period, explaining the extraordinary wealth and variety of the objects uncovered here. Its fame however rests on the discovery in 1897 of the bust of the Dama de Elche, a masterpiece of Iberian art, which was probably carved circa the 5th century BC. The museum houses objects dating from the Copper and Bronze Ages, important Iberian pieces such as the fragments of various sculptures and pottery decorated with figures, and numerous pieces from the Roman period.
