The Pegolí term is full of material witnesses that make us think that man occupied these valleys from the Middle Paleolithic in an area near the town called Benirrames, and that in our valley with the passage of time all cultures and societies will converge until the present. The sedentarism of the man causes that the caves are substituted for habitats in height as evidenced by the Ambra deposits, the Muntanyeta Verde, the Tossal de Bullentó, etc. The man will go down from the heights to the plan to devote himself - in addition to hunting - to fishing and agriculture, the remains that testify in the depopulated of the Plan to the marsh are from the Bronze Age, from the same culture They have found remains in the Tozal Raso and Penyaroja. From the Iberian period we know very little except that throughout the term material remains appear that confirm us in one way or another the social presence in this era. The arrival of the Romans in our valley was linked to the proximity of Dénia and its port, and some Roman villas were established on the sides of a secondary road that linked Xàtiva and Dénia by the interior, the route of which would go along the road old of Denia by Corners. The romanization left important footprints in Sant Antoni, Benigánim, Tossalet de las Mondes, Bullentó ... and later burials to the departure of Gaià with abundant ceramics and grave goods from the VI-VII centuries and others to the departure of Castelló de la same time. The Muslims occupied the Pego valley around the year 716, they settled in alqueries scattered throughout the term witness of which is the extensive rural toponymic heritage that has remained. They made major agricultural transformations and created new irrigation systems that would later be inherited and improved by Christians. When Jaume I decided to conquer the valley, Pego was a group of Islamic alqueries which depended on the castle of Ambra. Once the valley was conquered, the repopulation began with Christian settlers who came from Catalonia mostly. The monarch granted the rents of the valley to his son in February of 1263 and after the decisive two letters of settlement (1279 and 1286) began to build the walled town of Pego, with three doors and some sixteen towers that closed it. It was the birth of Pego as an urban area and was a new creation built on the old Uxola Alqueria. Since the year 1325 Pego passed from Reialenc to be a place of lordship and governed by noble families such as the Cardona, the Vilanova, the Centelles, Borja and lately the Osuna. In the fifteenth century Christians lived in the town and the suburb of the square (current Main Street), while Muslims or Mudejars did to the alqueries of Favara, Atzeneta and Benumeia. After the expulsion of the Moors in 1609 the valley was almost depopulated and new settlers from the Balearic Islands had to come to populate the nearby valleys in Pego. When the Crown was left without direct descendants in 1700 Pegolins peasants supported the Austrian cause, but very soon, before the advance of power borbó, ended up to be faithful to Felip V, which after the defeat of Almansa abolish the fueros and establish the Bourbon and Castilian centralism in all our lands. From the 18th century, the great intensive agricultural transformations began, especially the marsh, with the first documented introductions of rice cultivation appearing at the end of this century. Already in the nineteenth century the necessary mechanisms to increase production that reached its peak in 1930, along with the cultivation of orange, would be put into operation. If the War of Succession ended destroying much of the medieval towers and walls, the economic and demographic increase of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century would be responsible for destroying the two main gates, the Maiorasgo and the Arrabal or the Plaza , for the widening of the population. Only the Portal de Sala remained and is still standing today, which Antuvi led to the fountain and the medieval garden. The nineteenth century was a hectic and exalted century and Pego did not remain in addition to the important events of the rest of the state. The Carlist struggles, the political struggles between liberals and moderates, the bandolerisme, the insurrectional movements of republicanism, everything, we must highlight the bloody and fratricidal struggle between the Senes and the Ganyans that tried to make clear the famous Mayorazgo Ceniza.

Situated in the old church square, it was a project for an academistic temple approximately in the middle of the XIX Century. Feature writers say that “when a good part of the building had been done, the vault collapsed, leaving the entire building in ruins”. After having come to terms with the disaster, the works continued, only with the same misfortune to happen again a few years later. At the end of the XIX Century, an earthquake turned the new church into what was known in the town as the “broken church” (Bonmatí, 1981). Between 1935 and 1938 the current wholesale food market was constructed in its place. The grounds house several different businesses which offer fresh homemade products.

Its facilities are dedicated to showing part of the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean Sea, being in this way an important educational and recreational tool which introduces our closest maritime surroundings (the bay of Santa Pola and the Island of Tabarca). The water comes directly from the sea, and after processing it is brought to the aquarium. The idea of keeping fish in captivity isancient. In Rome, Greece and above all in the Orient some species were kept in costal rocks, in ponds, lagoons or at the entrance of seas for leisure purposes or as food reserves. Most of the species which the aquarium keeps were donated by the sailors of Santa Pola.
