Lixus Interpretation Centre Screening Room – Larache

## A cultural venue beyond its primary role The **Lixus Heritage Interpretation Centre**, several kilometres north of **Larache**, offers more than access to archaeological ruins. Opened in **2019**, the centre interprets the ancient settlement through displays of archaeological objects, images, texts and material from different historical periods. A dedicated **cinema screening room** enables film presentations within this heritage setting. It is a **functional sub-venue of the archaeological site** already catalogued in Culturama, but its separate film programme deserves an identifiable entry. ## The 2026 cultural programme In **2026**, the site promoted film screenings as an unusual opportunity to experience cinema within an archaeological complex in Morocco. An August notice granted **Passeport Jeunes holders free admission** to all cinema screenings **from 5 August through 30 September 2026**. This was a **time-limited benefit and should not be advertised as continuing after 30 September** without a new official announcement. Separate screening prices were also published; films, languages, exact session times and ticket arrangements may change. ## Place in the local cultural landscape The venue's appeal lies in bringing **ancient heritage and contemporary film culture** together: visitors can move between archaeological interpretation and a cinema presentation. Yet access to **the open archaeological site**, **the interpretation centre** and **a film screening** may involve separate rules or fees. The cover photograph shows a museum exhibition room at Lixus in 2019, **not the cinema auditorium itself**. Travellers should take the national road from Larache toward Tangier and verify the programme before leaving. ## Planning a visit - **Address:** Centre d’interprétation du patrimoine, site archéologique de Lixus, route nationale N1, environ 4 km de Larache vers Tanger, Morocco - **Telephone:** contact venue management - **Website or information:** [https://www.facebook.com/](https://www.facebook.com/) - **Opening:** At Lixus beside the N1 road.
