The Colony of Santa Eulalia is a district located in the interior of the province of Alicante, Spain. Its construction began at the end of the 19th century as a result of the colony law of 1868 and within the framework of " Utopian Socialism " and is currently semi-abandoned. 

   In addition to the workers houses, a large flour factory and other alcohol factory were built there, as well as the palace of the counts, a theatre, a store, a casino, an inn, a railway station and various wineries, warehouses and mills. The buildings were organized around two squares, the main one being built around the hermitage of Santa Eulalia. From its construction and until approximately 1925, the colony had great economic importance. From that date began a slow decline, which was accelerated by the civil war. 

   In the place where the Colonia de Santa Eulalia stand, there was an Andalusian cemetery, although it is not known to which town of farmhouse it must have belonged. The area was already called Prados de Santa Eulalia after Christian conquest. This denomination has its origin in a legend according to which Santa Eulalia helped the troops of Berenger de Entenza against the Saracens, and in his honor, a hermitage was raised in the same place that the current one occupies. 

   Palace of the Counts: Construction began in 1898 with a style that combined modernism with the industrial architecture of the time. On the main facade is the main decorative element; a relief inscribed on a semicircular front in which there are sculpted allegories of agriculture and industry separated by an angel with outstretched wings. Located in the main square, it is three stories high, highlighting its modernist interior decoration with beautiful tiles. The Palace of the Counts had twelve rooms, a central interior patio, lounge, library and also the administration and post office building. 

   Cervantes Theatre: It was one of the most important in the province, it housed the plays and zarzuela of the most representative and well-known companies at the national level. With a square plan, it is structured in the Italian style and has a stalls and box, where the choir was located. 

   The scene and its machinery have been demolished or have disappeared, but a large part of the interior decoration has been preserved, made up of moldings, a central border, and frescoes that show views of the Colony and famous people such as Manuel Linares, Jacinto Benavente, Ruperto Chapi and Miguel de Cervantes which gives the theater its name. 

   Hermitage of Santa Eulalia: The original hermitage dated from at least 1609 and had been reformed in 1623 and 1782. However, since it was threatening ruin at the end of the 19th century, a new one was built and completed in 1891. It is a building with rectangular floor plan and a gable roof that is supported by lateral buttresses. The interior covering is of a canyon vault with transverse arches and on the facade there is a belfry with a bell. 

   La Union Alcohol Factory: High-rise building, attached to the winery and with a characteristic quadrangular chimney. The Santa Eulalia cognac was distilled here until 1936, when the colony was already in full decline.
