This house, built in 1873, was commissioned by industrialist Rigoberto Albors Monllor, who donated to the town what today is the Square of Pintor Gisbert. The construction of this house coincides with the beginning of "El Petrolio", a famous uprising by workers aiming at an improvement of their wages and working conditions, which unfortunately ended up tragically. In Classicist and Eclectic style, this is a three-storey building with a basement and an attic. Of special interest are the big balcony, with a stone balustrade, and the prominent cornice, with a balustrade and a clock.

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.

This extensive space, made from concrete and granite, was created between 1992 and 1995 by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, and was designed to simulate the skeleton of a huge animal. It was inaugurated in 1997 and has hosted a number of cultural and social activities. The main vault of this subterranean hall, finished in an immaculate white, is supported by a series of parabolic arches, a typical feature of Calatrava’s work. The hall is accessed from Plaça d’Espanya, the main square of Alcoi, via a system of hydraulic doors which open onto two stairways, which when closed are disguised by barred trapdoors. Once inside the hall, at the main entrance the visitor finds himself at the tail of the animal, while at the opposite end there is the head. It is worth highlighting the wonderful natural light that illuminates the hall through the ceiling, along with the fact that it follows the contours of Plaça d’Espanya, including the slight slope of this Town Square.

This building was built in 1881 to be the central office of the Banca Vicens, and currently houses the Alcoi Chamber of Commerce. The building has a façade of stone blocks, with detailed cast iron balconies. The figure of Mercury found above the main entrance symbolizes commerce. The ground floor, which today is used for offices, was originally used to house the stables and coaches, as well as the coal for the heating system. Opening hours from Monday to Friday 8:30 to 15:00 h. Closed: festivity days.

It is installed in a stately building built in 1857. It has the uniqueness of having some curious arcades in the ground with a corridor that serves the small square "dels Portxins".

A Renaissance watchtower, which was part of the coastal defensive system developed during the 16th and 17th centuries to defend the coast from the attacks of Barbaresque pirates. Although there are documents proving the existence of three towers in the natural park’s limits, the Gerro tower, a Renaissance fort (16th c.) is the only still remaining. It is one of the coast’s most outstanding towers. It has a circular shape, shaped like a truncated cone divided in 2 parts featuring a King Charles V coat-of-arms, supported by three cantilevers. The tower owes its name to its strange shape as a “pitcher or gerro” (a valencian language word for jar or pitcher). SITUATION How to get there: from the last regular bus tine in les Rotes Road (next to Restaurant Mena) we follow the road towards the east some 50 metres up to Via Làctia Street. Going up this street there is a fence that forbids vehicles from passing to the access way to the path leading to.

It is a tower built at the beginning of the 16th century, located at one of the entries to the town. This tower has undergone many variations in its structure, especially from the middle of the 19th century, when it was integrated as a part of a two-storey house. It is unknown which family it belongs to, but we know that the building is characterized as a country building of low nobility rank, possibly typical of a knight and associated to agricultural properties and to the means of communication between Bocairent and Banyeres. It is a square building with an approximate height of 18 m. It was built with externally uncoated masonry walls. The corners, cornices and lintels of holes and arches are made of ashlar masonry.

Is located at the foot of the castle and was built to commemorate the spot where the old hermitage of Saint George was set. It was devoted to Saint George, but today it no longer exists. It was the oldest hermitage in Banyeres, as it can be inferred by taking into account its location, so its construction may very well date back to between the 13th and the 15th centuries. There are only a few remains: one of its corners. According to photographic evidence it can be assured that by the end of the 19th century or in the early 20th it was still standing. This hermitage was also known as the one of El Conjurador because of the ability that the Saint had to conjure storms and evils before the pleas of the people gathered around his image. The current monument is located in a viewpoint overlooking the mountain and it allows the visitor to admire the natural environment that surrounds the town.

The ancestral home of the Rovira family (17th & 18th Centuries). The family crest is to be found on the façade on the top floor. The crown was removed from this crest during the Second Republic. The Rovira family originally procedes from Catalonia and came to the Kingdom of Valencia towards the end of the 12th century. There are records of this family in Xixona going back to 1421. Throughout modern times family members have been leaders in local civic life. However, some of the more exalted members of the family moved to the neighbouring town of Alicante. With the passing of time some of those in the family who resided in Xixona adapted to the changing times and became active in the growing cottage industry, turrón (nougat) making. At the end of the 19th century several companies had been created and were destined to play a major role in the economy of the town at the beginning of the twentieth century.

At the entrance to the Parque de L´Aigüera a very different monument greets visitors: The new Town Hall, colloquially known as the ‘floorscraper’. The unique structure has aroused the interest of many architects and a lot of people come to visit it. The building is like a bridge which acts as a doorway to the green zone ‘L´Aigüera’ park. It juts out horizontally and you can walk underneath it. This 'horizontal skyscraper' is supported by four pillars. The glass façade is covered with thick slats with the names and surnames of the over 60,000 inhabitants of Benidorm from the year when its construction was finished.
