Árchez, known as the 12th century Merinite Jewel, has a Moorish origin that is reflected in its narrow streets and compact houses. The town centre is small and of moderate relief. The architecture combines traditional houses with gabled roofs or more recent terraces, many with their own wells. In addition, some houses inspired by the style of Gaudí add a unique and picturesque touch to the village.
