La Casa del Metge

“La Casa del Metge” is the popular name of the building located at number 15 Plaza Ricardo Cardona in Alcalà de Xivert, on the corner of Calle San Fernando.

This three-story building was built at the end of the 19th century on the old Market Square. The ground floor housed the office of Dr. Ricardo Cardona, who practiced as a family doctor in the town from the late 1930s to the 1970s.

The ground floor of the building has been converted into a museum space that fully recreates what was once Dr. Ricardo Cardona's office and clinic. It features original elements, such as furniture, medical instruments, and the doctor and his family's personal belongings. The space is complemented by totems and information panels, and an audio guide service has also been created to guide visitors through the spaces, help them understand the meaning of the exhibits, and contextualize what is on display.
