Where to stay in La Torre
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
A Roman road runs under the main street. The old Camino Real de Madrid follows the line of the Roman Via Augusta through this stretch, and the fortified alquería that started the village stood on that axis. Farming built the rest.
A small agricultural settlement grew around the alquería and prospered because it sat on the road, which is the whole reason there is a village here. Valencia proper is a run north.

About La Torre
What are the main landmarks in La Torre?
The alquería is the origin. A fortified one appeared here in the 14th century on the axis of the Camino Real de Madrid, and the settlement gathered around it. San Jorge is the notable group.
The barrio of that name stands out among the alquerías and smaller houses that multiplied in the traditional core and along the huerta. Growth came in the 18th century. That was the largest period of it here as elsewhere in the district, and it is the phase most of the older building belongs to.
What is the history of La Torre?
A fortified farmhouse started it. La Torre developed from an alquería that appeared around the 14th century on the axis of the old Camino Real de Madrid, which in this stretch follows the line of the Roman Via Augusta. Position made it prosper.

As in other parts of the Poblados del Sur district, that period produced a proliferation of alquerías and smaller houses in the traditional core and along the huerta.
One group stands out from it. The barrio of San Jorge is the notable ensemble among them.
