Casa Museo Benlliure

The Casa Museo Benlliure, in Valencia's Carmen district, is a cultural complex housed in the former family estate of the sculptor José Benlliure Gil. Built in 1880, the building was purchased by him in 1912, renovated, and furnished with Italian pieces. Today the three-story house presents domestic rooms on the ground floor with works by the family as well as contemporary artists such as Sorolla. The upper floors show collections by José Benlliure, his son "Peppino," and his brother Mariano. Behind the mansion stretches a romantic Mediterranean garden with tiles and sculptures. At the back you'll find the preserved studio, decorated with period furniture, musical instruments, and wallpaper, offering a glimpse into the artist's working world.
