The Horno del Concejo Museum and Casa del Folclore is a unique example of popular architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries, situated in the Castillo neighbourhood. The building retains much of its original structure, constructed using the traditional tapial technique, and features the impressive dome of its Moorish oven. The museum showcases the most significant aspects of the baking profession and local folklore through interactive media and contemporary museography. Key areas include the Bread Room, which discusses the architecture, history, and stories of the oven and its people; the Audiovisual Room, which presents an immersive video about the baker's work; the Folklore Room, which features traditional rounds, dances, and sounds of Molina de Segura's folklore; and the Well Room, which highlights the cistern, a meeting point for traditional houses in the orchard.
