A fascinating journey into the heart of one of the province’s most colourful and deeply rooted traditions.

Villena’s Museo Festero, or Festero museum, is housed in the well-known Casa del Festero, a four-storey mansion that offers a fine example of 19th-century bourgeois architecture. Make sure to include it in your visit.

What to see at Villena’s Museo Festero

This cultural space is devoted entirely to the town’s celebrated Moors and Christians festival. As you explore its rooms, you can see a valuable collection of official costumes, historic photographs, musical scores and mementoes from past celebrations. The museum also displays an extensive selection of posters and official programmes published over the decades, offering an insight into how this festival of International Tourist Interest has evolved over time.
