Come and explore the rich, historic heritage of Alcoy, home to centuries of fascinating history. Get ready to travel back in time.

Recinto Amurallado de Alcoy, Alcoy Walled Centre, is a testimony to the rich history of L’Alcoià, a Valencian county in Alicante. The old walled part of the town dates back to the 13th century, and although sadly few ruins remain today, you can still admire the outline and some of the town's original towers. Originally, the walled centre was formed by three rings, including a castle that no longer exists today. Wander down the streets of De San Jaime, Fraga, Barbacana and Agost to see the remains of this old walled town. And see if you can find the towers that have been restored, such as that of Na Valora. Alcoy is a great destination for a mini-break and a journey back in time.

Lastly, head to Sant Roc street to walk through the 18th-century gate into the walled centre and to Riquer tower. Be an archaeologist for a day and go in search of ancient ruins in Alcoy!

Are you keen to discover the Medieval walls of Alcoy while on a trip packed full of fun activities? You’ll also love the town’s Art Nouveau architecture and the spectacular rock faces that define the urban landscape. Don’t forget to sample the local cuisine, making time for a stop somewhere to try a plate of pericana, an Alcoy speciality.
