Villa Vista Alegre

Located on Guardia Civil street, this house dates from the early twentieth century being the residential country house of the Martí family, a bourgeois family, who used this villa as a summer house.

During the civil war, the house was used for evacuees from the war. There were as many as 60 people protected there. It had a large shelter that was used without thinking whenever bombs were heard.

Next to the house, a factory was built that was also owned by the Martís and of which today remains the unique testimony of the chimney that is a few meters from the house. It was a vegetable canning factory, especially tomato, in which there were many workers. It operated until 1956. The house was used until 1980.

This villa is today a building for public use, known as Chalet Martí, by the surname of its last owners. There is the Municipal Exhibition Board, where various administrative procedures are carried out corresponding to the 6th, 14th and 15th districts of Valencia.
