This property was acquired by the Orihuela City Council in 1981, being restored in 1985 thanks to the financial contribution of the Foundation of the Foreign Bank of Spain and Bank of Alicante.
The Oriolan poet Miguel Hernández Gilabert lived in this house with his parents and siblings, it is located at number 73 of the popularly known as Calle de Arriba.
The set of existing rooms adapts to the slope of the land, through a series of terraces where the house, the courtyard, the shed for the goats and the orchard are successively located.
The house is a masonry work with a façade plinth and reinforcement of openings, doors and windows, in ashlar masonry. It consists of two bays parallel to the façade, in the front are located the dining room and the living room and in the back the bedrooms and the kitchen and a small 'sostre' that is the only room on the upper floor. The roof is made of Arabic tile with three slopes. The façade is painted in the traditional way with a grey plinth, doors and windows in dark ochre and a wall in light ochre.
From the kitchen there is access to the patio where the well and a stone basin for water are located, in one corner there is the shed for fodder and firewood, which includes a small toilet, the rest of the patio is partially landscaped.
Going up some stairs you can access the goat shed and from there, through a small door, to the orchard, already bordering the rock of the mountains. Several fig trees from the time of Miguel Hernández are preserved in it. Josefina Manresa said in her memory book that in the garden there were prickly pear paleras and that Miguel engraved Josefina's name on the small paleras and watched how she grew as the paleras grew.
