Image of Alaquàs, not of the place itself.

The place received the title of villa in 1520 and Felipe II erected it into a county in 1557 in favour of the Pardo de la Casta. The first count, Lluís Pardo de la Casta, raised the Renaissance castle-palace that today presides over the centre of the municipality.
