Hiking

Construction integrated into the old wall, which lost 10 of its 25 meters due to an earthquake in 1829. Built at the end of the 13th century, of the Almohad type, the Calahorra guarded, along with another smaller watchtower located opposite, the most important gate of the walled town, La Lucentina, which faced the road to Alicante. In the XV-XVI centuries, a manor house was attached to it outside the walls, with two floors and a basement, to take advantage of the almudín (grain store) of the time.
