CITIES OF LIGHT: ÁKRA LEUKÉ, LUCENTUM, LAQANT

This exhibition is promoted by the Alicante Provincial Council through the MARQ Archaeological Museum of Alicante and the C.V. MARQ Foundation, in collaboration with 30 Spanish cultural institutions, including museums, archives, and foundations, which have contributed materials to enhance the contextualization and understanding of the exhibition's theme.

The exhibition's central focus is the Tossal de Manises archaeological site, owned by the Alicante Provincial Council. The site's research, restoration, promotion, protection, and dissemination have transformed it into a socialized space open to the public.

Undergoing a profound scientific reassessment, new interpretations—combined with those of its immediate surroundings—have reshaped the understanding of both the site and the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula between 500 BC and 1000 AD. These reinterpretations are explored in the exhibition, which covers a larger surface area than any other temporary exhibition held at MARQ. It includes rooms named after three researchers deeply connected to the site: Enrique Llobregat, Francisco Figueras Pacheco, and the Count of Lumiares.
