Inside, there is a good collection of representative objects from a long period of history, from the Upper Paleolithic to well into the Middle Ages; the greater part collected in deposits of the term.

An illuminated model of Covetes dels Moros is also on display, as well as a video of the Lleó Íber of Bocairent.

Built in 1843, it is the oldest in the Valencian Community. It is a unique and singular piece due to its originality, since it is excavated for the most part in living rock.
