L'Arquet is an arch of disputed origin (some sources date it back to Roman times, while others attribute it to the Arab people) through which water was channeled from a pond at the entrance to the ravine to transport it to the Molinet de Castro, a flour mill downstream, currently disappeared, on the other side of the Belcaire river. This symbol of the town is part of a series of arches and bridges visible along the river. It indicates the great importance of the irrigation systems for the economy of Alfondeguilla.

L'Arquet is an emblematic arch with a controversial origin (some say it is Roman and others, Arab). Through here the water was transported to the Molinet de Castro, which no longer exists, but was very close.
