The Archaeological Museum Camil Visedo is in Alcoy, a city in Alicante, Spain. This museum is inside a very old building. It mixes two cool styles: Valencian Gothic and Renaissance. For many years, from the 1500s to the 1800s, this building was the town hall. Later, it was used as schools before it became the museum we see today.
A Building with a Story
The museum building has a unique "L" shape. This is because two different buildings were joined together. They meet at a right angle.
Gothic Style Part
One part of the building is older and built in the Gothic style. It has a strong, solid front made of stone blocks. There is a main entrance with a rounded arch. This part shows how buildings looked many centuries ago.
Renaissance Style Part
The other part of the building is longer. It was built during the Renaissance period. This section has a beautiful gallery on the ground floor. It features five classic arches. These arches are supported by strong, simple columns.
Special Features
The outside of the building is very interesting. The old medieval and Renaissance parts come together. They form a special corner. On the upper floor, there are three fancy Baroque balconies. You can also see the coat of arms of Alcoy. This is the city's official symbol. A grand staircase connects the ground floor to the upper rooms. It is located right where the two buildings meet.
