La Vall d’Alcalà
In the 13th century, the hamlet belonged to the Muslim chieftain Al-Azraq, lord of Alcalà and of an extensive territory. After 1245, with the Christian conquest, the vassalage of Al-Azraq to King Jaume I and as a result of the treaty known as Tractat del Pouet, the Moorish leader received half of La Queirola's income for three years.
Before 1609, the year of the expulsion of the Moors, the hamlet had 13 families, but then it was abandoned. In the 18th and 19th centuries, there were attempts to repopulate it, but most of the houses turned into pens for flocks.
There are remains of two architectural complexes located on an area of less than one hectare. The largest is located to the west, and at least four structures can be distinguished, corresponding to domestic units, organised through parallel corridors. This distribution of built space is characteristic of the Valencian rural architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries, very different from the forms of organisation typical of Muslim and Moorish domestic architecture.
Both the design and the construction techniques used clearly indicate that the visible buildings correspond, essentially, to works of the 18th century that selectively reused some walls or wall fragments of the old Moorish farmhouses, easily distinguishable by the rows and oblique placement of the stones.
The complex located to the east has been enabled as housing.
