Orihuela is the southernmost point where El Cid managed to establish his protectorate. Already exiled, Rodrigo won the battle of Tévar against the Catalan count Berenguer Ramón II. From there it maintained a protectorate over the Islamic kingdoms of Al Hayib, between Tortosa and Orihuela. Orihuela is also monumental. One of its great examples is the urban wall of the city and, also, its numerous civil buildings built by the nobles who lived there in the 16th and 17th centuries.
