House of the Demanà

Baroque farmhouse isolated on a rectangular plot, composed of a main building with two L-shaped bodies of two heights, a one-storey annex and the corral. The north wing corresponds to an extension of the early twentieth century, leaving clear the architectural current of the time, being symmetrical, with balconies and finish of modernist character. The façade of the wing, corresponding to the original building, is asymmetrical with the hollows like latticed viewpoints, bulging in shape and of little flight, covered with cups of the same curved singularity. It is on this façade where the main entrance is located that leads to a double-height vestibule where the act of the Demanà was formerly held.
The act of the Demanà consisted of choosing the hunting ground of the lake of l’Albufera for each season. In the lobby of the building, the boatmen met to proceed with the act of drawing and assigning the places. The call was made by ringing a bell located in the small tower that finishes the building. From it you have a good view of the lake serving in turn as a watchtower.
