Granja de Rocamora
Village
A municipality of El Baix Segura (Vega Baja del Segura), in the province of Alicante, of Muslim origin, possibly arising from an alquería, with a small district of 7.2 km² covered in huerta, Mediterranean flora and palm trees. It was under the rule of the Rocamora family, who obtained these lands in the 1265 partition of Alfonso X the Wise and turned them into a lordship in the 16th century; in 1628 Philip IV raised the lordship to a county. The municipality became independent from Orihuela in 1565 and became ecclesiastically independent from the rectory of Cox in 1602. In the 18th century it raised a baroque temple with the blue-tiled dome typical of the landscape of southern Alicante; on the road to Albatera the Torre de la Mora is preserved, part of the defensive system of the huerta of the Segura. It has 2,728 inhabitants (INE, 2025).
Tower of la Mora
Monument
The Torre de la Mora, square in plan and about 13 metres tall, stands on an old levelled hill on the outskirts of Granja de Rocamora, on the road linking the town with Albatera. Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, it served as a defensive element for the surrounding farmstead (alquería), first Muslim and later Morisco, within the system that protected the Segura's irrigated huerta. It is divided into three floors: the lower one, almost underground, covered with a continuous barrel vault; the ground floor, with segmental vaults; and the upper floor, built with voussoirs and topped by a terrace with battlements. It belonged to the seigneury of Rafal until it was sold in 1822, and has been privately owned ever since; it combines original elements with later reconstructions and is in good condition.
Church of San Pedro Apóstol de Granja de Rocamora
Monument
An 18th-century Baroque church notable for its blue-tiled dome, typical of the landscape of southern Alicante, built after the municipality became ecclesiastically independent of the rectory of Cox in 1602.
