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. This building was once the town hall from the 1500s to the 1800s. After that, it was used for different things, like schools, before becoming the museum we see today.

About the Museum Building
The museum building has a special "L" shape. This is because two buildings were joined together at a right angle.
The Oldest Part
The oldest part of the building is in the Gothic style. It has strong stone walls. There's a main entrance with a rounded arch.
The Newer Part
The other part of the building is from the Renaissance period. It is longer and has a cool gallery. This gallery has five classic arches at the bottom. These arches are supported by columns in a style called "Tuscan order."
Outside the Building
On the outside, the medieval and Renaissance parts meet in a unique way. The upper floor has three fancy Baroque balconies. You can also see the coat of arms (like a special symbol) of Alcoy there. A staircase connects the ground floor to the upper rooms. This staircase is right where the two parts of the building join.
