Benitachell Monuments

Benitatxell may not be one to boast, but if you take a stroll through its center, you'll see that every corner has something to say. No guide needed, just time, curiosity, and a desire to observe calmly.

• The Town Hall

A rough white stone facade, three floors, and a coat of arms that presides from above. It is not a monumental building, but it has that presence shared by buildings well established. The town hall is the perfect starting point to begin exploring the historic center.

• El Portalet

A small entrance between houses that leads into the church square from the back. Historically, this was one of the gates of the medieval walled area. If you cross through here, you'll not only enter the historic center but also access a viewpoint with open views towards Xàbia bay, Montgó, Cape Sant Antoni, and the inland mountains.

• Church of Santa María Magdalena

Located right at the top of the town. On the outside, rough stone, a blue and white dome, an elongated bell tower with its clock and cross. Inside, white, gold, and a gentle baroque style that is not overwhelming. It feels both intimate and luminous at once.

Tip? Come back at night. With the lighting on, it seems to float above the town.

• Oratory Jaime Llobell

A small 19th-century hermitage that was built to provide refuge. Its founder, priest Jaime Llobell, envisioned it as a space for the most needy. After suffering damage during the Civil War, it was restored in the 70s. Today, it is a discreet place of worship, with a quiet courtyard, plants, and benches where you can sit and simply be.
