La Lonja del Pescado

Located next to the port, La Lonja del Pescado is a place where history and modernity converge. This iconic building, constructed in the early 20th century by engineer Prospero Lafarga, is an exceptional example of historicist architecture, featuring neo-Arabesque ornamental details. Originally designed as a loja (fish market) for the sale and handling of seafood, this architectural gem has been transformed into a renowned exhibition hall in Alicante. It hosts displays of painting, sculpture, history, nature, and numerous cultural activities. The interior of the building features three exhibition rooms that pay homage to the city: the “Explanada” room, the largest; the “Luceros” room, medium-sized; and the “Tabarca” room, a more intimate but equally significant space.
