L'Atzubieta is considered the largest and best-preserved Moorish village in the whole of the Comunitat Valenciana; it constitutes a nearly unique example of how rural Muslim architecture evolved.

The ancient Muslim hamlet of L’Atzubieta is located north of Alcalà de La Jovada, separated by a stream. Before the Moorish expulsion, there were 17 families, according to the 1607 census.

The first documentary reference to the abandoned village of L’Atzubieta dates from 1356, but some archaeological materials suggest an initial chronology prior to the conquest of Jaume I. The village was occupied by Christian resettlers throughout the 17th century and was permanently abandoned at the beginning of the 18th century, although the houses were used as pens for herds up until recently.

It was a set of buildings, and its remains form six groups or “islands” which are very close to each other. However, they are divided into two sectors, west and east, which are about 100 metres apart. The best-preserved sector is the western one, next to the path.

The houses have a simple structure: a square floor plan, a room parallel to the main façade and a patio that occupies a large part of the building. In some cases, there is another room at the end of the patio or attached to it, creating an L on one of the sides. The few rooms were used for sleeping, as a workshop, warehouse, kitchen, etc. The walls are 45 centimetres wide.

The remains of an oil press carved into the rock of the floor have been found there. There are also remains of a mill with the canal that supplied it with water from a higher level of the river and a waterwheel, dating from the Christian occupation.
