This tower is one of the few testimonies that have survived from the medieval walls built around La Vila, or first enclosure of Medieval Alcoi. Its construction was carried out throughout the second half of the 13th century. The tower’s basement, its entrance door and its four corners, made of blocks of stone are worth mentioning. The tapial (mould of two parallel panels used to build walls) was used in its construction. The tower was restored in 2002. Its strategic location guarantees a superb overview of the river Riquer and the area of the Tints.

The city of Xàbia was protected and surrounded by fortified walls since 1874, the year which marked the definitive demolition of the defensive walls now surrounded by the present day ring roads. Hundreds of years previously, the early historical city centre of Xàbia possessed a defensive wall fortification since the beginning of the 14th Century of which now hardly any evidence remains. The detected ruins in this sector of the Avenida Príncipe de Asturias, the old ring road known as the “muralla de arriba” (upper wall), correspond to the wall, three buttress embankments which formed a type of barbican or rampart built at a relatively recent time in the early 19th Century; probably when the “new doorway” or Portal Nou was opened (18th of May 1805), or perhaps as a consequence of the Napoleonic war. These wall-faces, which have only conserved a 40/50 cm height today, are made with limestone masonry which were crafted with lime-based mortar, which used the local “tosca” (sandstone) blocks in the front section of the buttress embankments. The modern architectural intervention has consisted in consolidating and protecting the original work, which have raised the wall-faces approx. 60 cm to make them more visible.

The Christian foundation of the Villa of Alcoi took place in 1256, and in 1305 its first urban expansion was started. This newly developed urban site was called in the 14th century Pobla Nova of Sant Jordi or Vilanova of Alcoi. The old quarter of Alcoi was protected by a wall and several towers, of which the Tower of l'Andana (in the Plaçeta de les Xiques), the Tower of N'Aiça and the Tower-Gate of the Riquer have survived. The latter was also the door of entrance into the town from the old road of Castilla or Madrid. At the beginning of the 18th century, during the War of Spanish Succession, a bastion was built next to the Tower of N'Aiça. Some years later, all these towers were adapted for housing and a wider door was opened on the wall of the Puríssima road to allow the access to carriages from Saint Roc road. This new door received the name of Arc de Sant Roc.

The windmills of “Les Planes” district have ruled this scenic viewpoint since the first Building in the 14th Century. Years later, it was followed by another ten towers, whose ruins, currently without blades or roof, can still be observed in this exceptional corner of the coast although in different conservation levels. The windmills had to withstand the impact of the intense “llebeig", the warm southwest wind which blows in a practically steady basis in the Trencall de la Plana area. Today no longer in use, the windmills have sturdy mechanisms made of Kermes Oak wood which served to move the heavy circular millstones.
