3 euro's for entry seems OK to me. The museum is broken into two sections - The Roman section, based around a hoard discovered a few years ago and the pre-Roman section.

For those believing Alicante has few things to propose, on top of drinking and beach, this is a good quality choice: a trip into the this region's history, from Fenitians, Romans until today. Airconditioning is also a good excuse to come in summer! More

The museum contains archeological pieces from Roman, Phoenician and Moorish cultures obtained from local excavations. It is small but well organized. Worth the visit. More

MARQ, the archeological museum, of Alicante tells the story of the region in the most enlightening way. I have never met the past in such a vivid way, showing the context of archeological findings with the contemporary way of living.
