A place to discover the history of the valley.
The Casablanca Archaeological and Anthropological Museum is a heritage site that preserves, studies, and disseminates the memory of the territory, from the first inhabitants of the valley to the formation of the present-day town.
Founded in 1995 with the aim of highlighting the archaeological and cultural wealth of the Casablanca Valley, the museum houses a valuable collection of original pieces belonging to indigenous cultures such as the Bato and Aconcagua, who inhabited the area before the arrival of the Spanish in these lands. This collection includes objects such as ceramics, projectile points, grinding stones, and utilitarian utensils used by the first inhabitants of Casablanca, which were found at archaeological sites around the commune.
In addition to its archaeological focus, the museum also has an anthropological and educational dimension that invites reflection on local identity, natural heritage, and the transformations of the human landscape over time, revealing our colonial life and peasant roots through permanent exhibitions, educational guides, workshops, talks, and school visits. The aim is to bring the past closer to new generations and strengthen the community’s bond with its history.
The museum has become a cultural and educational landmark in Casablanca, as well as a meeting place for researchers, teachers, and local residents who value memory as a tool for collective construction.
