Museo Valenciano del Papel
Paper museum in the 1903 Villa Rosario chalet. The paper-making craft and old mills, with a collection of 1300 cigarette booklets.
In the Villa Rosario chalet in Banyeres de Mariola, built in 1903, sits the Valencian Paper Museum. It explains the craft that shaped the town: the area's paper mills produced paper for centuries.
History
Banyeres gathered paper mills that used the local water. The museum, set in the modernist Villa Rosario chalet, gathers tools, machinery and samples of that artisan industry.
What to see
The collection shows hand paper-making, mill models and a remarkable collection of cigarette booklets. The 1903 chalet itself, with its garden, is part of the visit.
Tips for your visit
- Pair the museum with the castle: they sit at opposite ends of the old town and you walk the whole village.
- Check opening times before going: as a local museum, it opens in set slots.
