Located on the coast of Orihuela, in the urbanization of Cabo Roig. It is a military building of the watch tower type, it was built in the XVI century, in order to watch the coast and prevent the attacks of pirates and Berbers. His location (in the middle of a geographical accident) gave him a much wider vision of the area he was watching. The tower is a cylindrical construction with a base at the base, on the slope is located the access door. It was made in masonry, arranging ashlars in the openings as the entrance door. The surface of the façade is slightly inclined, with the base plan being wider than the terrace. so that more than a cylinder has raised cylindrical trunk. After its restoration, a layer of white lime was superimposed on the facade to decorate it, hence its current white color. The entire facade is dotted with numerous small windows with which to monitor the area that corresponded. The slope of the base reaches the height of three meters. The interior is arranged in two heights and terrace. The first corresponds to the ground floor, the second to the first floor and finally the terrace. Of its interior it is only remarkable the vault that divides the tower in two heights (ground floor and first floor) made in bricks. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

La Torreta de Elda is a medieval defensive building located in the municipality of Elda, in the province of Alicante. It is considered as an Asset of Cultural Interest. It is located at a height of 550 meters and is a rectangular tower with four annexes, also rectangular. The date of construction is calculated between the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century. Its objective responded to the border location between the kingdoms of Castile and Valencia. In particular, the turret protected the road between Elda and Sax, as well as the path of La Noguera, which heads towards Petrel. It is documented that in 1386, the lady of Elda, Sibila de Forcia, asked Pedro IV de Aragón for a surveillance and customs service. Its continued use is recorded in a document of 1494 between the County of Cocentaina and the Bishopric of Cartagena, in which the Torreta is cited as possession of the then Lord of Elda, Juan Roig de Corella. In December of 1705, the Turret was used for military surveillance, in the context of the War of Succession. After the War of Independence it lost its function and was abandoned.

It is located at the eastern end of Cape Santa Pola, on an old watchtower of the sixteenth century, called Atalayola. It was installed in 1858 for the orientation of the ships that sail along these coasts at night, especially for the Navy ships, which anchored in the bay of Santa Pola in the year of its construction. It currently has a light source located 152 meters above sea level and 15 meters above the ground; its appearance is FGpD (2 + 1) B with a period of 20 "; Its maximum range is 16 miles and is a visual reference of great help for navigation. From here you can see a magnificent view of the bay of Santa Pola, Alicante and the Island of Tabarca. In the clearest days you can see Cabo Cervera and Isla Grosa to the south and Peñón de Ifach to the east.

The Castillo-Fortaleza is a magnificent example of Renaissance military architecture of the sixteenth century. Projected in 1553 by the Italian engineer Juan Bautista Antonelli, its cost was borne by D. Bernardino de Cárdenas, Viceroy of Valencia, within the "Plan for the defense of the coasts of the Kingdom of Valencia." With its defensive structure it faced the attacks pirates of the Berbers who ravaged the coast. At the end of the works in 1557, a garrison composed of 33 people and their families were installed inside: the warden, an ensign, thirty soldiers and a chaplain, who lived on the walls of the Castle. With the passage of time, civilian uses replaced the military. On July 9, 1859 the Castle became the property of the City Council, carrying out renovation works, aimed at the building losing its character as a fortress. Since then, the site has been used for the performance of functions of various kinds, becoming headquarters of the Town Hall, Civil Guard Barracks, Court of Peace, hospital and even an improvised bullring. Currently, the Castillo-Fortaleza Cultural Center has the following facilities: Museum of the Sea, Municipal Exhibition Hall, Auditorium "Baluarte del Duque de Arcos" and Chapel of the Virgin of Loreto. The Patio or Plaza de Armas is part of the historical set of Castillo-Fortaleza and has a strategic location in Santa Pola. Visitors can not leave without having known it as a mandatory passage that connects the two parts of the urban area. It is a vital nucleus in all the epochs of its historical process. The Patio de Armas in its beginnings was a fortified enclosure, with a single access, easy to defend because the threat of possible attacks came by sea. Important historical events have also been raised: the Moors of El Arrabal de Elche were concentrated there, when they were expelled in 1609 to leave the port to the north of Africa, guarded by a company of musketeers and another of arcabuceros belonging to the Naples thirds and Sicily. Another important historical event was the visit of D. Alfonso XII on March 16, 1877 in the Royal Square. Teodoro Llorente, Valencian writer, recounts his visit to the Castle: When Don Alfonso entered the fortified area of ​​the old castle of the old town, all the girls of the place were aligned in correct formation within that great square, dressed in their best clothes and carrying a beautiful palm on his shoulder. On the occasion of this visit, Santa Pola was granted the title of Villa, in the presence of the Minister of the Navy and the Captain General of the Maritime Department. For a long time, concretely from 1860 when a new access was opened in the wall to the east, it was a zone of free passage, with which little by little it lost its character of Plaza de Armas, arriving sometimes to realize in it bullfighting spectacles . In recent years it has been recovering as a cultural space for Santa Pola, where recreational-cultural activities, religious and institutional events take place.

The rustic Villa Marco Estate dates from the middle of the 19th. Century and was very important in the agricultural area known as the fertile region of Alicante. At the beginning of the 20th. Century, it acquired residential character and a modern style with interesting colonial French art influences which differentiate it from the other estates which remain in the region. Its beautiful Versailles inspired gardens were created at the beginning of the 20th. Century under the auspices of Renato Bardin, honorary consul of France and owner of the estate at that time. Conveniently looked after throughout their history, they have experienced some modifications which have, however, respected their original morphology. The gardened area surrounds the house with pathways cut out of it and which are flanked with classical style cups and jugs The garden can be divided into five areas: the "Arabic garden" (originally used as an orchard) the "historical garden" where the most significant examples can be found, the "access garden" which was the carriage entrance, a small "Mediterranean garden" (with autochthonous plants) and a large pine area which represents the "Mediterranean forest". The gardens house two sculptures by the renowned Alicante artist Vicente Bañuls: "La Noche" and "La Marsellesa".

Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the rural community of Calpe was walled in order to protect it from Moorish attacks. Its coastal location meant that the community suffered from continuous pirate attacks, which is why Carlos V ordered that the walls be repaired in the 16th century. Those who lived nearby had to access the citadel through a single gate known as "El Portalet". The harshest attack took place in 1637. Berber pirates invaded the town without being seen. The guards were sleeping, so they climbed over the walls using ladders. During the attack, they took virtually every resident captive. Another of the most important attacks on the town, which is the origin of its patron saint festivities, occurred on October 22nd, 1744. After this pirate assault a project to fortify the town was started, and a second wall that surrounds the suburb and the old citadel was built. The "Torreó de la Peça" is named after a small fort destroyed in the 20th century that once contained an artillery piece.

How P. Guichard affirms the castle of Ambra is one of the many Islamic castles of the Valencian territory that served as places of habitat and / or refuge in charge of the rural communities, with a non-feudal character and that were object of transformation and destruction after of the conquest. Old historians dated the construction of the castle between the 9th and 11th centuries, but the latest research and archaeological excavations date back to the early 13th century. The rubble of the castle rises on a rocky ridge formed by the northern buttresses of the Sierra de Mediodía, delimiting the Pego valley to the south. It rises to a height of 264 m above sea level and its construction is perfectly adapted to the rugged and rocky orography of the Ambra mountain. The castle did not participate actively in the conquest, but it did have importance in the subsequent Mudejar revolts capitanejades for el-Azraq. The year 1268 the castle was consigned to Arnau de Romero, Jaume I ordered that in the castle there should remain an atzembla and ten men. A year later he passed to Bonanat de Guía, who had it for a short time, passing 1260 to Pere de Berbegal, arxiprest of Daroca, guarding him with four men, to whom the king paid 150 salaries annually. In 1264 he passed the castle to Ade de Paterna for the debt that the child in Pere contracted with him. Charged the debt, the king gave in credit the castle to P. de Capellades. The 1271 passed in the hands, in the same circumstances, to Pere de Marcén. Finally, after being in the Saracens' mansion for three years, from 1276 the castle began to lose its military importance. It finished to lose its importance completely the castle when from 1280 it was begun to create the new town of Pego. After the second letter of settlement (1286) granted with better conditions than the first (1279), settlers from Barcelona begin to arrive that they are going to establish in a new walled town that has to be built on the old Uxola alqueria. The castle of Ambra is a late Islamic construction, that according to Javier Martí, begins towards the beginning of the XIII century, product of the fear of the Muslims before the threat of feudal conquest. What most relies on this statement is the lack of durability that the castle had (1220-1280). But the truth is, that the last excavations have not brought to light any remains previous to the chronology pointed. Established the chronology and durability of the castle, another of the important aspects is to know if it was inhabited or not, that is, if it served only as a military refuge or if there were rooms inside it. Approximately twenty houses existed with a staggered arrangement and taking advantage of the natural structure of the rock. The houses were of reduced dimensions and the work of mortar lime and limestone stonework of irregular size. They also had to have wood, although it was probably used later for the houses of the new village, since in the excavations no remains of this material were found. The remains of the wall of the enclosure show us the value of defensive architecture; the walls made of rammed earth, the foundations of Freemasonry and four cubes (towers) of rectangular plan in ixent reinforcing the wall. To the Southeast of the same one is the door of access to the enclosure, between the avantmural and the wall of the castle. The access consists of two doors arranged longitudinally interspersed between them a guardhouse. This body of guard allowed to make the guaita between the two doors during the night, as well as the rest of the walkers in their access to the castle. In the same bank of guard we can observe what could be a curious medieval game composed of eight holes in which one would have to face stones of different tamanys. In the excavations of the project "Transformations of the structure of medieval settlement in the lands of Marina", we also found in the door 5 bronze money from the reign of Jaume I (1238-1276). Inside the enclosure, next to the second tower of the wall a cistern or cistern of rectangular plant (12 x 3 m) realized in tapial that served to collect the water of the rains is emplaced. An avantmural or barbican closes the wall mural enclosure, also made in tapial although lower than the interior wall. It is endowed with an income in replec and three false cubes that adapt to the layout of the towers and the wall. Although the castle is in relatively good condition, the intense task of abancalament and the erosive action of atmospheric agents have severely punished the constructions.

They constitute as a whole a defensive system of Andalusian origin formed by several enclosures murados to different height. Castle of Orihuela (BIC). Ninth-eighteenth century. It is a work of precalifal origin, which lasts with successive additions until the War of Succession, being destroyed in 1709. In it, several well-differentiated zones are distinguished functionally. The highest area is occupied by the Alcazaba, seat of political and military power, below it a line of towers delimits the albacar, enclosure with livestock functions as well as defensive, another series of towers are located around the seminary, where he was the original population. A whole series of walls and towers link the citadel with the walls of the city that ran along the river. Walls of the city (BIC). XI-XV century. They extend from the Monte de San Miguel to the Segura River. The walls of the city started from the albacar to encompass the original nucleus of the city (current seminar) and its subsequent expansion to the river. Currently there are several unconnected sections of the walls, two towers at the end of Calle Torreta, the Torre de Embergoñes, the Tower of Casa Casinello in Calle Soleres, the stretch preserved in the Museum of the Wall, under the Aulario del Campus of the Salesas of the Miguel Hernández University and several canvases and towers on the Monte de San Miguel, in the vicinity of the Diocesan Seminary. Puerta de la Olma or Crevillente. It is the only preserved remnant of the Cerca del Arrabal de San Juan. Ashlar work Entrance with a half-point arch and on it a guardian angel with a sword, representing the royal arm in the Valencian Cortes, accompanied by the quadribarrado shield, the Oriol Bird (emblem of the city) and an inscription that dates the door in 1558: “En lo ani de nostra redemcio MDLVIII se acaba aquest portal sent ivrats los molt magnifichs senors Melchor Groadellas Ivan Fernandes de Tvesta Frances Almodover Andre Manresa Ivan Miro”.

The Torre del Tamarit, also known as Torre de la Albufera or Torre de las Salinas, has a square floor plan and is located between Torre del Pinet and Castillo-Fortaleza de Santa Pola. Being a little away from the coast, its main function was not to monitor the maritime coastline, but to allow communication with the towers of the Elche field and monitor the salt pans. The tower of the Tamarit, owned by Bras del Port SA, is located in an exceptional place, in one of the lagoons of the Natural Park of the Saltworks of Santa Pola, which houses various environments: the salt works near the sea, the water pools sweet permanently flooded and its peripheral areas. The fauna and flora adapt to the conditions of humidity and high salinity. The concentrations of flamingos that add up to thousands of specimens are spectacular. It also highlights the presence of the White Jar, the Pardilla Teal, the Avoceta, the Cigüeñela, the Black-rumped Chorlitejo, the Charrancito or the Common Tern. The Vigía Towers were built in 1552, under the reign of Felipe II. They are strategically located to spot the enemy before it reaches the coast and communicate with each other through smoked by day and by night luminaries. They are: Torre del Tamarit in Las Salinas, Escaletes in the Sierra and Atalayola in the current lighthouse. His custody was entrusted to four attackers: two on foot, who carried out continuous surveillance, and two on horseback, who controlled the route between two towers: communication, request for help, etc. Both the Escaletes Tower and the Atalayola (current Faro) had guards on foot, but not on horseback, so the liaison function was carried out by the two atajadores of the castle.
