The Pobla Medieval d 'Ifac stands out for being currently a unique site in the Valencian Community, and is the only Pobla de Conquista that has not been investigated, excavated or transformed beforehand, which makes it a unique and exceptional site. It is an urban enclave of the late thirteenth century, driven by Admiral Roger de Llúria, one of the most important characters of this time. It is a huge walled enclosure, endowed with a complex access system, rooms, warehouses, houses and an imposing church dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels with a medieval necropolis at its feet. It will be a short-lived foundation, not exceeding 100 years of existence. The historical ups and downs forced the abandonment and transfer of the settlers of Ifach to the hill where the walls and the Casco Antiguo de Calp are currently located.

Located in the Tosal de La Cometa, it is a set of historical-religious interest, consisting of buildings of an old fortified farmhouse built at the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th century. It is estimated that the hermitage, built under the dedication of St. John the Baptist, was the particular oratory of the fortifications of the rural area of ​​La Cometa. In front of the hermitage, there are two "riu-rau" and there are still three wells, one of them conserving its conical roof, a cistern and a system for rainwater collection. Here, the San Juan festivities are celebrated annually, on June 24.

On top of the rock separating the two beaches was the fortress built to defend the people from the algerian pirates raids during the XIV, XV and XVI centuries. Afterwards the castle was abandonned and nowadays you can only see some remains of the walls that lie on the rocks of the viewpoint, also known as ‘The Balcony of the Mediterranean’.

Dominating the marina, is this tower that was built between 1554 and 1557, to prevent the population from attacks by Berber pirates who continuously harassed our land, looting and causing great destruction and fear throughout the population. The Viceroy of Valencia, Don Bernardino de Cárdenas, Duke of Maqueda, ordered the construction of a whole system of watchtowers. He gave them four men in each: two on foot and two on horseback. Thus, at the moment when a pirate ship was seen, the men on horseback rode quickly to warn nearby authorities of the immediate danger, while the men who remained in the tower were in charge, by means of smoke signals by the day and bonfires at night, to alert the other towers of the invading sighting. This tower is built in the shape of a truncated cone, its diameter is six meters in the base and five in its highest part, the entrance door is located in its middle part, so to access it, a staircase was necessary "Cat" or rope. Its interior is solid from the base to the height of the door and from it, access to the terrace by an interior staircase. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and restored in the year 1991.

The also known as Torre del Barranc d'Aigües, like the Torre de la Illeta, was built in the second half of the XVI century as part of the network of watchtowers located along the entire Valencian coast to prevent attacks of Berber pirates. It is located in a protected landscape of great scenic beauty, which was the border line between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon until 1296, when the monarch Jaime II annexed these territories definitively to the Aragonese crown and with it, to the Kingdom of Valencia. Although the upper part of the tower is quite deteriorated, it still retains the rest of its physiognomy that allows us to guess its original structure.

The Resemblanc Tower is located south of the town of Elche, on the outside of a farm to which it is attached within the so-called Huerto de la Torreta. Its origin, like other towers of the garden of Elche, is due to the fact that in the year 1552 a Berber vessel headed by Salah Rais, arrives at the coast of Elche, in the vicinity of the beach of Pinet, poorly defended by some watchmen. , to prevent the smugglers from crossing the lagoon under cover of the night and the controls imposed by the Marquis of Elche, and they realize the little defensive presence. They take land and quickly go to the town of Elche, where, after attempting their assault, they captured important booty in goods and people. This causes the authorities and the upper classes to create what is known as the Coastguard, an institution responsible for creating a dense network of alert and prevention of attacks from coastal enclaves and urban enclosures, since in 1550 the pirate Dragut, a mercenary salary of the Turks, punished the coasts of the Alicante garden where the defenses relaxed. Therefore, the authorities decided to provide the coast of Elche and the town of Elche, as well as its garden, with a defensive system that would keep the alert against the Moorish attacks, thus creating a series of defense towers with the aim of stopping the attacks of the pirates, raising a system along the huert and ilicitana coast with several watchtowers, among which they highlighted Ressemblanc, Vaillós, Palombar, Carrús, Asprillas, Estaña and Gaitán, that together with the coastal ones of Tamarit, Pinet , Escaletes, Talayola and Carabassí, constituting the defensive system annexed to the city of Elche and the fortress of Santa Pola, thanks to the expert Italian engineer Giovanni Baptista Antonelli in the year 1,562. It is a garden tower with a square floor and a prismatic body of four heights. The base is slightly rounded thanks to a solid plinth with a beveled edge. All the filling is irregular masonry formed by limestone and rigged with white lime mortar and gravel. As noble elements it is necessary to emphasize the masonry chained of its corners, finishing off with a corsera, of which at the moment only the modillions of the same one are conserved. The openings are of ashlar masonry, accessing the interior by an architraveled door that is located at the height of the second floor, covered with wooden beams and sky plementry. The first floor is covered with a vaulted vault and has an open space to raise the floor. The two remaining heights are very similar, being covered by wooden beams and brick plinth. These four floors communicated with each other through a spiral staircase, built in brick and plaster, which allows access to the roof by means of a sentry box also raised in material analogues. It has several rectangular and linteled windows and in its South wall there is a shield emblazoned in stone adhered to it. All of it is in a perfect state of preservation. Like the Tower of Vaillós, there are no documentary references about its construction period, although it has been granted a low medieval or even Islamic origin. The most probable thing is that it was a low medieval tower that dates back to the end of the XV century or the beginning of the XVI century, and its function was created that was control and surveillance of a piece of the Mayor canal of the town, existing in its surroundings.

The older people of Elche remember when it still served as a textile factory and even intermittently, as a prison. The dramatic process of renovation experienced by the Palace of Altamira, or Alcazar de la Señoría,makes it one of the best preserved strongholds in the province of Alicante, and at the same time an essential monumental point of reference of vital importance for the city. Residence of the noblemen of Elche between the XV and the XIX centuries, its Torre del Homenaje or Keep also housed the Kings Jaime II and Pedro IV and the Catholic Monarchs during their stays in the city and hosted the meetings of the General Council of the City up to the XV century. Factory and Prison In the construction process of the Palace of Altamira several important stages stand out. The first corresponds to the Islamic period between the XI and XIII centuries. In the present day some stretches of the City Wall from this time may be seen, along with remnants of dwellings and drainage channels, which are not visible, as well as a monumental entrance gate and the Keep, of which only the ground floor belongs to this period. The second phase, between the XV and XVI centuries, occurred after Gutierre de Cárdenas took possession of the lordship. This rebuilding work, defined by its decisive and extensive nature, shaped the general lines of the current form of the Palace. Subsequently, in the XVIII century, the Count of Altamira added a manor house of two floors to the original wall, which currently constitutes its south-facing facade. It is polygonal in shape, with angles defined by projecting circular hubs, except in the area occupied by the Keep, which has a square base and three floors. Its rooms and the outbuildings of the western wing intermittently housed a prison from the XVIII century until 1959. In 1915, the building was acquired by a local industrialist who built a textile factory in the Patio de Armas or parade ground, adjoined to the east wall, which was in operation until the end of the 1960s, at the same time as the prison. Nowadays this same parade ground is sometimes made use of as a perfect arena for social and cultural events. Restoration After being expropriated by the City Council in the 1970s in the last century, restoration of the building was carried out, including the outbuildings of the former factory, which, once refurbished, went on to house the Alejandro Ramos Folqués Municipal Archaeological Museum. In 2005, after further restoration, which brought to light remnants of the original stronghold, including an upper entrance gate from the banks of the river, whose existence was previously unknown, the palace came to form part of the new Archaeological and History Museum of Elche (MAHE). This centre was inaugurated in 2006 in conjunction with the return, for a period of six months only, of the Lady Elche, who was housed on the ground floor of the Torre del Homenaje or Keep, where an exact copy of the Iberian bust is currently displayed, ceded by the Provincial Archaeological Museum (MARQ).

The research project of the archaeological site Castellar de la Morera –also known as Castellar d'Elx– aims at documenting one of the most interesting sites within the Islamic archaeology scene in Alicante. This project has been promoted by the Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ), with the participation of the University of Alicante and the support from the Archaeological and History Museum of Elche (MAHE). Cristóbal Sanz in 1621 and Pedro Ibarra –the historian from Elche– in the 1920s already mentioned it. This piece of research tries to highlight a place that has been forgotten by research and to redefine the problems of the early Islamic settlement in the region of Elche. It is a team-based piece of research, run by Pierre Guichard, Sonia Gutiérrez Lloret and José Luis Menéndez Fueyo. The project's main aim is to explain the settlement historically in the light of the eventful processes of an Islamic society's foundation between the 8th and 10th centuries.

Although most of the walls that formed the Muslim precinct have disappeared, some remains scattered throughout the city can still be traced. On the one hand, the towers that have become part of the current urban fabric, some somewhat camouflaged, such as the Council, Santa Bárbara, Santa Lucía or Ressemblanch, which best retains its original traces. In order to take a complete impression of the old wall it will be necessary to look for the "remnants" of the same one in different locations, like the lime mortar tapial at the confluence of Fatxo and Diagonal streets; the section integrated in the current building of the Town Hall and that looks at the Plaça de Baix or the existing profile, of considerable dimensions, in the Cases de la Mare de Deu.
