Palacio del Marqués de Scala

The Palacio del Marqués de Scala in Valencia, built in the sixteenth century, is a historic estate that was extensively remodeled in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The building blends Valencian Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements into a single architectural whole. It consists of two mansions with connected courtyards and a double portal. The plastered brick facade features large balconies, while the square spire is decorated with spheres. Inside, a spacious antechamber with a flat ceiling stands out, leading through an arch into a square courtyard. Here you will find Gothic and Renaissance influences, including a stone balustrade with plant motifs and a wooden ceiling in the alfarje style. Another highlight is the octagonal gallery on the upper floor. The main floor houses large salons with ornate ceilings, tiles, and historic doors. The palace has been protected as a cultural heritage site since 1948 and is considered an important example of local architectural history.
