La Bastida de les Alcusses is an archaeological site that dates from Iberian times, located in the extreme southwest of the Serra Grossa, in Moixent (Valencia). Today a comprehensive management programme is underway at the site, combining archaeological research and the promotion of public access to heritage.
The Museum of Prehistory of Valencia organizes research projects, dissemination programmes and educational activities.
Exploring the excavated areas: from the fortified walls and gates to the houses and streets.
All the information we present is based on our research. In this section, we describe the excavation work and the projects currently in progress.
The site of La Bastida de les Alcusses is the property of the Valencian Cultural Heritage Board, and is protected by law. In order to ensure its preservation, please observe the rules outlined below throughout your visit.
A circular route allows you to visit the houses from the wall, passing through the fortified gates and the excavation area. Outside the town there is a teaching area with a full-scale reproduction of a house equipped with objects from the period.
Teachers who recognize the educational role of heritage can bring their pupils to the site and combine the tour with a visit to the teaching workshop.
We have designed an educational programme with workshops for primary school children and guided tours for all school levels.
The results of the research and the activities organized are published both in Spain and abroad.
In the museums in Moixent and Valencia you can admire the original objects found in the excavations and learn more about Iberian culture.
