You wouldn't expect to find a Spanish city on African soil with a historic military fortress, modernist architecture and a fusion of Mediterranean, European and African cultural heritage. An apprentice of Lluís Domenech called Enrique Nieto, who is credited with inspiring the city's collection of modernist buildings, and a legacy of curved buildings with natural motifs that can be seen in the city's Golden Triangle. Hello, my name is Patricia and I am an official guide of Melilla, a beautiful African city bathed by the Mediterranean. As a guide of Melilla I love to teach all interested travelers about its history, typical places and curiosities. My tour will not leave you indifferent, you will learn interesting things and have a more than pleasant time. So if you do not want to miss the fun and get to know Melilla, do not hesitate and come and enjoy!

Tour description

Rather than wandering around the city without directions, why not take the historical and ethnographic tour?

Discover the importance of the different peoples who inhabited this African territory and take home the best of Melilla with this combination of history and local life in a single experience to gain a perspective of Melilla.

What does the Guided Tour of the Museums of Melilla consist of?

This is a historical and ethnographic immersion that will take place inside the old Almacenes de las Peñuelas, built in the 18th century and now home to the Ethnographic Museum and the Museum of Archaeology and History of the city, located in the first fortified enclosure of the citadel.

 

We will resume our historical tour through the halls of the Melilla Archaeology Museum, learning about incredible archaeological remains found in Melilla and its surroundings.

Spectacular ceramics, coins and amphorae reveal that Melilla was a flourishing city thanks to its industries based on honey, salt and minerals. We will conclude our visit to the Archaeological Museum of Melilla in the best possible way, admiring the incredible military models of the citadel that will transport us to what life was like in Renaissance Melilla.

We will end our visit at the Casa del Reloj museum*, where there are two points of great cultural interest: the Capilla de la Ramada and the Batería Real.
