Museo del Aceite "Molino Viejo"

Housed in an early 20th century building, it has three rooms. The first room contains reproductions of the amphorae used by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago to transport the ‘oil’ from Betica, photographs of the old factory and panels referring to the different cultures of the Mediterranean basin that obtained the precious liquid. The second is the ‘can room’ and houses a collection of 242 tinplate containers lithographed in this factory between 1917 and 1975. The third and most important room contains various mills and presses, including a 17th century beam press of considerable size. It also houses a collection of jars and the cellar with 69 trujales of 3.5 m deep with a storage capacity of 1,250,000 kg. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
