The Visitors’ Centre is a space where visitors to Elx can see a detailed audiovisual presentation on the city: its history, traditions, culture, fiestas and economy.
After a short video, visitors can obtain more in-depth knowledge of themes that interest them using the multimedia facilities available in the different niches. The centre is located in a striking Oriental-style building built in 1946 as main pavilion in the city’s Industrial Exhibition. When the Exhibition concluded, all of the other constructions were demolished while this pavilion was first refurbished as the Municipal Archaeological Museum and later as a Museum dedicated to the Blanched Palm and a space for temporary exhibitions.
