MACA Contemporary Art Museum
Museu d'Art Contemporani d'Alacant (MACA)
A free art museum made up of a 17th-century granary and a modern glass annex, with works by Miró, Dalí, Picasso and Sempere.
MACA sits opposite the Basilica of Santa María. Its core building is the Casa de la Asegurada, dating from 1685, the oldest secular building in the old town, which is now connected to a modern glass annex. The collection is based on 20th-century art donated by local artist Eusebio Sempere, and visitors can see works by masters such as Miró, Dalí, Picasso and Kandinsky, as well as Sempere's own dynamic abstract art. Admission is free; allow about 1 hour for a visit.
