Monument · Gestalgar, Los Serranos, Valencia

Image of Gestalgar, not of the place itself.

Fortified house and former residence of the lords of Gestalgar and of the seigniorial bailiff, with a tower surrounded by private houses whose ground floor houses several dungeons. Its exact chronology is unknown, although several dates have been proposed. It belonged to the Montpalau lineage, which held the lordship for about two centuries: Baltasar de Montpalau repopulated the town with Christians after the expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609 and was made count by Philip IV; countess Francisca Felipa de Monsoriu owned it during the War of Succession (1705-1707), and Josefa Dominga Catalá de Valeriola was the last feudal lady, between 1800 and 1814.
