Monographic Museum of Pol-lèntia · Alcúdia (EN)

Pol-lèntia Monographic Museum The Pol-lèntia Monographic Museum, managed by the Alcúdia Town Council, is a section of the Museum of Mallorca, created in 1987 with the aim of bringing archaeological pieces recovered from their original environment, the Roman city of Pol-lèntia, which was inhabited between the second century B.C. and XII A.D. It is located in the historic center, in a building that housed an old hospital of the sixteenth century. The museum discourse is structured around two themes: the public and private spheres, to explain the main aspects of Roman culture based on the remains it has left us. The museum exhibits a series of pieces from the excavation campaigns carried out in Pol-lèntia, an important collection of ceramics, as well as various glass objects, jewelry, etc. Most of the pieces on display correspond to the first and second centuries, the time of maximum splendor of the city. It is worth mentioning the three marble sculptures found in the area of the forum, as well as a female bronze head that gives its name to one of the houses in the Portella area where it was found. There is also a space dedicated to the necropolis of Pol-lèntia, with the inscription of Cornelius Atticus.
