Summary

[edit]
Description
Català: Restes d'una de les torrasses laterals de la Porta Ferrissa (segles XII - XIII), que donava pas a la ciutat àrab, Medina Laqant. Va ser de gran importància militar per a la defensa de la Vila Vella.

Descrita en diferents cròniques de la ciutat, se sap que tenia un arc de mig punt àrab decorat amb inscripcions alcoràniques a la façana que donava a l'eixida, i que tenia un arc ogival en la que donava a l'interior. D'aquesta partien dos camins, encara hui visibles: un cap al sud, pel carrer major i el camí cap a Elx; i l'altre cap al nord, vorejant la muntanya, pel camí cap a València.

Fou enderrocada a mitjan segle XVIII per petició dels veïns de la zona per facilitar-hi els accessos.

La importància de les muralles hui desaparegudes es reflecteix en la toponímia de la ciutat, perquè se'n conserven els noms d'algunes de les antigues portes: Porta del Mar, el Portal d'Elx, el Postiguet i la Porta Gran.
