The urban route of Ondara is an easy, circular route with a distance of 1.71 kilometres. We will make 12 stops to visit the most emblematic places in the town.

We begin this local route at the Prado building, built in the fifties of the last century. Its original function was as a market for local products from Ondara and nearby villages.

Continuing towards the Plaça del Convent we find the Carxofa fountain, built at the end of the 19th century, which is a symbol for the people of Ondara. It was buried in the 1970s and recovered in 1983.

Just after, we have the Claustre Ajuntament, which was part of the old convent of the Franciscans Mínims, a religious building erected during the first half of the 17th century.

Going up to the Plaça Major we have the Casa de Cultura, which was where Mrs. Pepita and her husband bought the upper part of the building that overlooks the square. In the year 2000 the municipal corporation agreed to buy it.

Next to it is the torre del Rellotge, a medieval military construction, the only one still standing of the four defensive towers of the castell-palau of Ondara. It houses the marquetry of a tower clock from the end of the 19th century.

Continuing along carrer Sant Benet we find the Trinquet, inaugurated in 1872 for the practice of Valencian pilota, with a long tradition in Ondara and the whole region.

Next is the house of the Mayorazgo, an Asset of Cultural Interest. It is an imposing house with a quadrangular floor plan and a solid, stately appearance.

Going down Carrer de Dénia we find the church of Santa Anna, built between the 17th and early 18th centuries. It has a Latin cross floor plan and the main nave is covered with a barrel vault.

Looking for carrer Verge dels Dolors, we come across the chapel of Christ, built at the end of the 19th century. It consists of two adjoining buildings: one is the original chapel, and the second is an extension from the beginning of the 21st century.

Going down the street, we find the llavador, a unique building inaugurated in 1950, taking advantage of the running water from the pool channelled through the weir.

We leave behind the Plaça del País Valencià to come across the Plaça de Bous, inaugurated in 1901, which is an example of neo-Mudejar architecture. Badly damaged during the Civil War, it was rebuilt in 1957.
