This well-documented site is 3.5km south of the town centre. The Dama de Elche, a masterpiece of Iberian art that’s now in Madrid, was unearthed here. Entry includes the excellent archaeological museum, displaying rich findings from a settlement occupied continuously from Neolithic to late-Visigoth times. The museum shuts at 6pm, which is also last entry time for the site.
