Azorín House Museum

Monument · Monòver/Monóvar, El Vinalopó Mitjà, Alicante

Birthplace of the writer Azorín in Monòver, in the Vinalopó Mitjà, restored by his brothers, residence of the Martínez Ruiz family since 1876. The three-story building houses an exhibition of the writer's objects and belongings, as well as his personal library, made up of a collection of 14,000 volumes, some from the 16th century, and his correspondence. It is a reference point for those studying Azorín's work and for those interested in the Monòver press of the period, preserved on microfilm. The institution that manages it publishes the journal Anales azorinianos and organizes the Coloquio Internacional de la Universidad de Pau, in France.
