Palau de la Generalitat, Valencia

The Palau de la Generalitat of Valencia is the seat of the Generalitat, the government of the Valencian Community.

The Palau de la Generalitat of Valencia is the seat of the Generalitat, the government of the Valencian Community. The Diputación de Valencia showcases a great collection of works by Valencian artists in the rooms of the Palau. The Valencian Gothic style building with Renaissance elements dates back to the 15th century and has been renovated over the centuries. The courtyard is the oldest part of the building, and contains a bronze sculpture of Dante’s Inferno by Mario Benlliure. The staircase to the mezzanine floor leads into the beautifully laid out studies of Sala Gran Daurada and Sala Xica Daurada which has gilded and coffered ceilings in polychrome wood. The Salon de los Reyes on the main floor displays portraits of every Valencian king from Jaime I the Conqueror to Alfonso XIII, as well as a painting of the Crucifixion by Sorolla. The Sala Vella hosts the plenary sessions of the Consell de la Generalitat Valenciana. Also of note is the Sala Nova, which has a carved wooden gallery running above it and group portraits of important Valencians.
