The building, constructed with local materials, has a distinct personal style that blends in perfectly with the heritage of the site.
The remains found in the archaeological excavation prior to the construction of the Parador, including the fifteenth-century synagogue in perfect condition after the passage of the centuries, can be seen inside the building.
The same enclosure also contains the Fortress of the Sun, ancient citadel and symbol of Lorca, an Islamic cistern and part of the Almohad wall that protected the hill on which the ensemble is built.
In Lorca city centre, you can visit museums and monuments including the Town Hall, the Collegiate Church of San Patricio and the old Convent of La Merced, where the Visitor Centre is located.
