The Wall Museum is located in the basement of the building “Casa del Paso”, in the campus 'de las Salesas' in the Miguel Hernández University.

It is home to an important archaeological site, put on display after several phases of excavations between 1998 and 2000.

Within this museum lies important archaeological patrimony: the wall and four turrets dating back to Almohad times (officially confirmed as an object of cultural interest on 14-XII-1998), Arabic baths, Islamic and late medieval street and homes, a gothic palace and archaeological remains from the Casa del Paso (a building from the XVIII century). It also has objects dating from the second half of the XII century until the XX.

The museum is accessed via a corridor and glass walled walkways. It also has informative signs, models, glass cabinets with information and videos to help the visitor get a better idea of the objects on show or the areas he has walked through.
