Centro de Interpretación Ciudad de Arcos

About the museum

The Centro de Interpretación Ciudad de Arcos (CICA) presents the Conjunto Histórico of Arcos de la Frontera, its tourist attractions and its surroundings. It is on the Cuesta de Belén, between the former Puerta de Jerez and the Basílica de Santa María de la Asunción, and is the seat of the town’s tourist office.

The municipal tourism website describes it as a benchmark in museography and design in the province of Cádiz, and as a space designed both for visiting and for resting. The route traces the town’s historical development with technological resources and materials related to archaeology, and it helps visitors get their bearings before walking through the old town.

The municipal tourism website lists it among the town’s interpretation centres, alongside spaces in the Palacio del Mayorazgo such as the Rincón del Poeta and the room dedicated to La Molinera and the Corregidor.
