The Church of Mary Help of Christians (Salesians) in Villena. Founded in 1917 along with the Salesian House of Villena. The image of Mary Help of Christians arrived in solemn procession from the Parish of Santa María on May 4, 1918. During the Spanish Civil War, the altars were destroyed, but the building remained intact. It has been a key spiritual and educational center in the city, linked to the Salesian legacy and the figure of Don Bosco.

Built by the Almohads in the 12th century on San Cristóbal Hill as a defensive fortress on the border between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. The inner wall and the two lower floors of the keep date from the Almohad period, featuring vaults unique in Spain, along with those of Biar Castle. The two upper floors and the outer wall with twelve turrets were added in the 15th century. Conquered by James I in 1240. Residence of Don Juan Manuel (author of El Conde Lucanor). It played a role in conflicts such as the War of the Spanish Succession, the Revolt of the Brotherhoods, and the Peninsular War. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931 and a Site of Cultural Interest.

The legend tells of the Villena people's desire to build a temple to a patron saint who would protect them from the plague that devastated the city. So the Virgin of Virtues received the title of protector against the plague and patroness of Villena.

Road without exit since in the middle of the road there are many bee hives that prevent passage, so it is better at the previous intersection to exit onto the road

One of the 5 lime kilns that we can find in the Fontanars dels Alforins area, on the so-called Lime Route. In 1960, the mechanization and industrialization of lime kilns began, and they went from working in small ones, spread across the Fontanars mountains, to working in larger kilns, located in strategic points and separating themselves from the rural area. Thus, in 1990 all the rural ovens had already stopped working. It has been 25 years, at best, since these kilns were abandoned, but we still find 30 of these calç forns scattered throughout the municipality of Fontanars. Time has not passed in vain, but still, we found five interesting Lime Routes to explore:
