Map

From the newest part of the local heritage, it is worth mentioning, the solar sundialsolar quadrant designed by the Otmos mathematician Joan Olivares. Located in the park of the carob trees. Steel multi-row with indication of the date through the zodiac lines. It also indicates the date of the miracle of Sant Miquel, patron saint of the people. "Vall d'Albaida" is a lavish area in sundials. In the catalog made in 1998, 120 were highlighted in different conservation states. Currently, some have disappeared, but others have also been restored and constructed of new ones. Despite the evidence that solar watches are part of our popular culture and our scientific and artistic tradition, this enormous and unique resource has been forgotten and abandoned for many years. The project "Otos, the town of the Sun Watches" and the "Route of the Sun's Watches of the Valley of Albaida" are intended to arouse the interest of institutions and individuals in the conservation of solar watches while creating a network of gnomonic itineraries through the "Vall d'Albaida".
