Description

The village of Vallés has one of the most valuable jewels of 15th century Valencian civil Gothic architecture, the palace of the Sanç family. This building, which is in a very good state of preservation, stands out for the elegant and characteristic twin windows of its facade, typical of the Crown of Aragon (one, triforada or three openings; the other, biforada or two openings).


The palace underwent a Renaissance renovation during the 17th century that gave the building a rear gallery of tiled windows. It is known that around the year 1400 the building belonged to Jaume Vallés, who gave his name to the municipality.

However, it later passed into the hands of the knights of Sanz of this city. Nowadays it is a private property that has lost most of its original elements, especially the defensive ones. It stands very close to the Cànyoles river, from where you can enjoy magnificent views of the Vernissa mountain range and the city of Xàtiva.
