At the start of Calle Villaclosa in Beceite stands the town hall arcade — its former main entrance — and La Presoneta. This space was remodelled during the 18th and 19th centuries and represented the main gateway to the former Arab-Christian castle of the town. La Presoneta was the tower that defended the entrance portal; details such as the arrow slits and the remains of the arch springer on its facade attest to its former defensive character. Standing at this now-vanished gateway, with the town hall on our left, the old square on our right, and straight ahead the street that continued in a straight line to another defensive tower known as 'la Torreta'. This tower lost its defensive purpose between the 17th and 19th centuries and became the local jail, particularly during the First Carlist War. Here the Carlist general Cabrera imprisoned three women who were relatives of Liberals, in reprisal for the execution of his mother. The name of Calle Villaclosa means 'enclosed town'. In Beceite it is known as the Botera neighbourhood. A prior reservation at the Town Hall or the Beceite Tourist Office is required to visit this space.
