El Portalet

Monuments

The Portalet is the name that is known to the door that leads to the square of the Church from its back side. Constitutes the second entrance of the square, besides the Church-street. This door was one of the entrances to the walled core upon which was built the first village, surrounding the Church.This space was in medieval times a walled enclosure conformed by slopes of the highest ground, the walls of the temple and the back of the houses. Walking from the square through the Portalet, it becomes a beautiful viewpoint seeing the Montgó, the Cape of Sant Antoni, the Bay of Xàbia and the hills that rise to the Puig Llorença.
