Torre medieval d'Alcalalí

Highlight • Historical Site

The medieval tower of Alcalalí stands in the Plaça de l'Ajuntament and was for a long time the tallest building in the city, until a church was built in front of it in the 18th century. Even today, they remain the two tallest buildings in Alcalalí, and no modern construction has detracted from the charm and essence of the historic center.

The medieval tower of Alcalalí was built at the end of the 14th century. At that time, Alcalalí and La Vall de Pop were frequently attacked by pirates and bandits; the tower served as a watch post and a refuge in case of invasion.

Later, at the behest of the Ruiz de Lihory family, a palatial residence was built, connected to the tower by a drawbridge. This family ruled Alcalalí until 1837, which is why the building is also known as the Torre y Palacio Señorial de Rois de Liori (Torre and Palace of the Kings of Lihory).

Since 1992, the tower has belonged to the Alcalalí city council, which restored it and transformed it into a viewpoint that visitors can climb to enjoy the incredible panorama of the Vall de Pop. The tower's original five-story structure has been preserved, and the first and second floors now house a museum. On the third floor, you can admire engravings and graffiti from the 16th to 18th centuries, offering a glimpse into the customs and traditions of Alcalá's inhabitants during that period.
