Palace of Quartell

Monument · Quartell, El Camp de Morvedre, Valencia

The Palacio de Quartell, the former palace of the counts of Faura, was built in 1741 in the Plaza del Palacio, in the town's old quarter. It follows the layout of Valencian Gothic palaces, arranged around a central courtyard. The main door, made of stone, had an opening wide enough for carriages to pass through, above which stood the main floor; on the upper floor, the loft, the harvest was kept and silk was stored, while service rooms, stables and access to the orchard were arranged around the courtyard. It is now privately owned by the heirs of the counts of Faura, and the town council has considered expropriating it to turn it into a hotel. Together with the church and the public washhouse, it forms the town's heritage complex.
