ESPAI MUSEOGRÀFIC SANTA FAÇ
L’espai de Santa Faç va ser objecte de diversos projectes d’obra per destinar-lo a ús públic, però la seua ubicació, devora la murada islàmica, i la troballa del fossat que protegia una de les portes de la madina, han determinat que es destinàs a explicar la història d’aquesta part de la ciutat.

El contingut temàtic que es pot veure tracta temes relacionats amb el seu context urbà, amb especial atenció a la murada prerenaixentista i els immobles del seu entorn. Es presenten informacions del passat extretes de fons documentals i cartografia històrica; sense oblidar els escassos testimonis de l’època antiga trobats al lloc. Així mateix, s’analitza el procés d’excavació dels immobles i es donen a conèixer alguns materials recuperats, com són les ceràmiques d’importació valencianes i les troballes monetàries.

Translation of the text on the sign:

SANTA FAÇ MUSEUM SITE
The Santa Faç area was the subject of several construction projects to make it available for public use, but its location, along the Islamic wall, and the discovery of the moat that protected one of the doors of the madina, have determined which was intended to explain the history of this part of the city.

The thematic content that can be seen deals with issues related to its urban context, with special attention to the pre-Renaissance wall and the buildings around it. Information from the past extracted from documentary funds and historical cartography is presented; without forgetting the few witnesses of the ancient period found in the place. Likewise, the excavation process of the properties is analyzed and some recovered materials are made known, such as the ceramics imported from Valencia and the monetary finds.
