This centre is located in a two-storey country house built in the 18th century, which has undergone successive extensions and modifications. The building consists of three structures, the central one protruding more than the others, and two wings to the side with noteworthy examples of running balconies on the upper floor.
PERMANENT EXHIBITIONS
The centre is divided into two floors. The ground floor houses a reception area, a shop, a multi-purpose room, offices and workshops for various uses.
The museum per se is located upstairs. Some of the areas in which it has been divided have a name associated with the novel "La Aldea Perdida".
