The Colonia de Santa Eulalia is an extraordinary historic settlement between Sax and Villena in the province of Alicante. Founded at the end of the 19th century by the noblemen Antonio de Padua Saavedra y Rodríguez de la Guerra and Mariano de Bertodano Roncalli, it is considered one of the first experiments in an agricultural-industrial community in Spain. The colonia was conceived as a self-sufficient village that combined work, living, and leisure. In addition to agricultural land for vineyards, olives, and almonds, factories, workshops, a palace, a theater, a casino, a church, and even its own train station were built.

As a curiosity, it should be said that this is where the Valencian public television series "L'Alqueria Blanca" was recorded.

The Church (Hermitage) of Santa Eulalia, located in the Santa Eulalia Colony, between Sax and Villena (Alicante, Alto Vinalopó).
It forms part of an agricultural colony built in the late 19th century, declared a Site of Cultural Interest (ethnological) in 2016. It is situated in an area between Sax and Villena, near the Acequia del Rey irrigation canal and the Vinalopó River.
The hermitage is located in one of the colony's two main squares, surrounded by houses, factories (flour and alcohol), a theater, a casino, and a train station.
