In front of the Plaza de la Bordadora, beginning the street of the Alamo and in the tower on the left, is the Coat of Arms of the García de Alcaraz family. Its author is unknown, and it has a clear Renaissance affiliation. The family coat of arms is decorated with a garland of fruit, on either side of which are two tenant warriors dressed in Roman costume. The small figures that appear all around suggest a symbolic reading that has not yet been able to be properly interpreted.

Cehegín
Located in the Plaza del Alpargatero, it was created as a tribute to Cehegín's industrial past and to the locals who had to emigrate to Catalonia as a result of the disappearance of the espadrille industry, which was their livelihood. This means of production was so important that it was able to supply all the footwear for the French army in the First World War. The author of this bronze monument is the Valencian sculptor Rafael Pi Belda.
