Nucli antic de Potries

The old quarter of Potries preserves narrow, winding streets of Muslim origin, together with traditional farmhouses with an inner courtyard. Until the 19th century a wall with four gates enclosed the town, so growth was contained within the perimeter. The gates were demolished in 1862, when the quarter began to lose the boundary that had defined it for centuries. Many houses keep a ground floor with a cart passage, an element that organises the interior layout and can still be recognised when walking through the streets. The old quarter therefore keeps the memory of a town that grew inside its walls.
