Chimeneas de Benalúa

Monuments

The chimneys of Benalúa are a patrimony protected by the General Direction of Patrimony of the Generalitat Valenciana (declared Asset of Cultural Interest). They were erected in the Gran Vía of Professor Soler, between the prolongation of Alberola and Guardiola Architect streets, in 1923, and were the work of Engineer Francisco Fajardo Guardiola, who took part in many projects in the city of Alicante, such as the Mercado Central de Abastos (Central Market of Supplies). They belonged to the ceramic industry of Francisco Ramón Borja, ceramics entrepreneur in Alicante, owner of Tejas-Borja, also with two spectacular chimneys, at the exit of the Carretera de Madrid.
