Senija Open-Air Museum (MOS), an outdoor art gallery

Senija Open-Air Museum, known as MOS for short, is an open-air museum that is not only a joy to explore, but also a wonderful way to get to know Senija in Vall de Pop. Senija Open-Air Museum is a creative initiative that has seen the village’s walls and façades decorated with works of art. 

Access to this al fresco museum is free: just wander the streets of the destination and you’ll find yourself fully immersed in Senija Open-Air Museum. The works of art that you’ll come across often depict the local way of life for the inhabitants of this part of La Marina Alta. 

Senija Open-Air Museum first came about in 2017 and has since turned into an incredible destination for lovers of both art and rural tourism. The peaceful atmosphere emanating from the streets creates the perfect backdrop for enjoying contemporary works of art. As you stop off to look at mural after mural, make sure you take time to visit Santa Catalina Virgen and Mártir Parish Church, a Baroque place of worship that dates back to 1770. 

The Traditional Historic Centre of Senija is transformed by Senija Open-Air Museum, creating a contrast with the lovely traditional façades. If you’re a photography enthusiast, ensure you bring along everything you need to capture the works.

During your time in Senija, combine your time exploring Senija Open-Air Museum with other experiences like setting off on an exploration of the local scenery to see the beautiful riuraus. These characteristic buildings were once used to dry grapes and turn them into raisins. Senija’s landscapes are also dotted with dry-stone structures, a tradition that is protected by UNESCO.
