History
House Benigalip It was the Roman villa Benigani. The chronology of this town dates from the third century. C., during the time of the Roman Empire. In this area we found a year later 275 d ceramics. C. The material records reveal that the Roman town is abandoned in the late third century. C. and the following records that appear already in the XI-XII century during the hispanomusulmana time in which this town was a small village.
The late Middle Ages, the configuration of an agricultural space
Possibly after the conquest of the XIII century farmstead ceased to exist Benigalip going to become a game over the municipality of Pego. Since the conquest were only three, the farmsteads that subsisted at the end of Pego: Atzeneta, Favara and Benumeia.
Towards the end of the 1488th century, and thanks to the Book of Goods (XNUMX) that is preserved at Municipal file from Pego, we know that Benigalip is a rural game of the term, in which we find around 12 properties of average proportions. The properties belonged to several predominant owners, but the four owned by Andreu Torra, among them the most valuable one, which could be where the farmhouse would later be located.
In the sixteenth century it seems that the plot, which were two, buys Bernat Puig. During this purchase you may be held one of the first buildings, a farmhouse that occupied the site or possibly the house torn down the old farmhouse.

This property appears already linked in the book of the eighteenth century Peita Francisco Pascual Cots, entitled Benigalip house and Benigalip Heredad. By this time the new work is cited house Benigalip, which reflects the sundial of the main facade, 1737. In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century the property was registered in the name of Silverio Esteve Palomar, the teacher Esteve, who founded the Santa Teresa de Jesus College. The year 27 1908 October, he was named Knight of the Order of Alfonso XII. The government also awarded a knighthood with Cross of the Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic.
