Marqués de Montemolar

The house, popularly known as "the Marqués' house," was commissioned in 1924 by Don José Beneyto Rostoll, a lawyer and diplomat married to Doña Pilar Guillamas, Marchioness of Campo-Fértil. It was built as a recreational estate for when they visited Altea.

Its location on the Tossal de Molar hill gives its name to the estate where the house of the Marquises of Campo-Fértil stands. This hill overlooks the town of Altea to the southwest and offers expansive views over the bay of Olla de Altea to the east.

The Finca Marqués de Montemolar is protected as a cultural heritage site for its architectural quality, the value of its surrounding landscape, and the excellent condition of its architecture. It is a clear example of suburban and recreational architecture from the mid-19th century, typical of a certain aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie.

The palace features a main body with two towers and a large central hall, a cloistered courtyard, as well as upper and lower walkways. The most notable elements are the asymmetric towers, one with green-tinted glass and the other crenellated. The high-quality Neo-Mudejar tiles, as well as the original, well-preserved wooden floors and carpentry, are also striking features of the house.
