Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas in Valencia Spain
If you like a palace, built in the amazing Rococo style, then you certainly
have to visit the Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas in Valencia, Spain.
This Palace is now owned by the Spanish State and it houses the Conzález
Martí National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts.
It also has a nice noble and royal history.
Royal History
In the15th. century there was a noble knight called Don Francisco Perellós.
He was a descendant of the counts of Tolosa and he married to Joanna Perellós,
the only daughter of the wealthy Mosen Gines de Rabassa. Their descendants
took the surname of Rabassa de Perellós. This family bought the barony of
Dosaigües in 1496. In 1699 this was elevated to a marquisate by
King Charles II of Spain.
It was known that the name Dosaigües was transformed in Dos Aguas.
The Marquis of Dos Aguas and his decendants lived in Valencia for
many centuries and they were known as wealthy merchants and
businessmen. Through marriage with other important Valencian nobles
they enlarged their riches.
The Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas in Valencia Spain was originally
built in the 15th. century. It was a Gothic building however in the 18th.
century the residence underwent a radical reform. This was ordered by
the 3rd. Marquis of Dos Aguas, Ginés Rabassa de Perellós y Lanuza
(1706-1765).
The Building
The magnificent entrance was made in 1745 and would have reffered to
the two largest rivers of the Valencian community: the Turia and the
Júcar, represented by 2 naked figures, under these two buckets pour
water in clear reference to the title of the Marquises.
The palace has a inner courtyard. Inside there are various beautiful
rooms. There were great paintings and artistic marble on the
floors.
A visit
I discovered this beautiful palace by chance during a tour in the
amazing city of Valencia in Spain.
The palace is open every day except on Monday and it costs
3€ for an adult. More on this link.
It really is worth a visit, the more if you like art and royal history
this is the perfect place for you!
I've taken this pictures during a tour in Valencia in 2018.
