Explora el fascinante pasado de Murcia y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
Founded in the year 825 by the emir of Córdoba Abderramán II with the name 'Mursiya'.The city grew thanks to a complex network of irrigation ditches that took advantage of the waters of the Segura River, turning its surroundings into one of the most prosperous orchards in Al-Andalus.
After the Reconquista, Murcia consolidated itself as an important agricultural and silk production center.Its 'Golden Age' was the 18th century, a time of great prosperity that gave the city its baroque splendor, visible on the façade of the Cathedral and in the work of the brilliant sculptor Francisco Salzillo.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, Murcia has established itself as a dynamic capital of services and an important university center, which gives it a young and lively atmosphere.The city continues to live in the face of its rich orchard and has undertaken projects to revitalize the banks of the Segura, integrating them into urban life.
