El poeta Miguel Hernández vivió en esta casa con sus padres y hermanos desde 1914 hasta 1934. Años después, concretamente en 1981, el Ayuntamiento de Orihuela la adquirió y restauró. La reapertura al público fue solo cuatro años más tarde, en 1985.
Esta vivienda, típica de principios del siglo XX, ofrece al visitante todos los detalles necesarios para hacerse una idea de cómo de sencilla era la vida de Miguel Hernández. Se trata de una casa con una explotación ganadera y que, como es habitual, se ha de adaptar al terreno sobre el que se construyó.
El que fue el hogar de Miguel Hernández era bastante grande, como verás cuando accedas a él. Consta de comedor, salita, habitación de los padres, habitación de las hermanas (Encarna y Elvira) habitación de Miguel y de su hermano Vicente y la cocina. El museo conserva todas estas partes, así como el ajuar típico de la época y diversas fotos del poeta con su familia.

De Museo de Antigüedades del Colegio de Santo Domingo a Museo Arqueológico Comarcal de Orihuela. Lo que viene a continuación es una transformación poco común, pero que ha cosechado un gran éxito en esta urbe. El Museo de Antigüedades nació en 1902 siendo obra del padre Julio Furgús, del cual proceden parte de sus fondos. Desde que en 1970 se autorizase su construcción, compartió varias ubicaciones. El museo ha pasado por el Palacio de Teodomiro, el Hospital Municipal, el palacio de Rubalcava, hasta llegar en 1997, a su sede actual: la iglesia de San Juan de Dios, templo construido a mediados del siglo XVIII. En su interior se encuentra el paso procesional El Triunfo de la Cruz, conocido como La Diablesa, realizado por Nicolás de Bussy en 1694.

Bullas 1900
Time has stopped in 1900 in this old noble house located in Bullas - Rosario street, just behind the parish church. It belonged to Don José Marsilla Melgares de Aguilar (1854 - 1930), commonly known as Don Pepe, who was a rich and powerful landowner but also mayor of Bullas twice.

The monographic museum dedicated to the sculptor José Carrilero’s work is located in the square that carries his name. It takes up the rears and vaults from a former palatial home built in the second quarter of the 17th century by Don Luis de Gadea Sahajosa, councilor of Caravaca
The building: During the 18th and 19th centuries, the property belonged to a branch of the family Muñoz de Otálora and their heirs the Marquises of San Mamés de Arás, until it was acquired by other individuals. During some time in the 20th century, the building was leased as a Civil Guard Barracks House.
The exposition: The museum takes up an area of about 650 square meters and it is home to 90 works in total, including sculptures, paintings and medals. It consists of four exhibition halls, a multipurpose room and other service facilities.
In the first, second and third floor a representative sample of the painter’s work is exhibited. The exhibition highlights several sketches and figurative designs which later on became sculptural works.
The basement of the building, where the old vaulted wine cellars were situated, is almost entirely dedicated to the sculptural work of Carrilero. It contains 49 different sized bronze works and 14 sculptured and engraved medals.
Interesting feminine portrayals, academic torsos and unique relieves stand out in the building. The square and the façade of the museum exhibit an extraordinary group of sculptures of natural size, consisting of three instrumentalists, including the statue of a flutist, a cellist and a trumpeter. It’s a characteristic theme among the authors’ repertoire.
