With a typology typical of Gothic fortress palaces, the Old Palau d’En Bou has a square shape and reflects the incipient influences of the Renaissance.

The construction presents a scheme of a central courtyard to which fall the hierarchical floors: the mezzanine floor for the service, the main floor, which is accessed by a cantilevered staircase at a long angle, with large pieces, and a last one that serves as a finish to the building. The ceiling of the mezzanine floor is resolved with exposed beams, which is completed with a coffered ceiling on the main floor and has been fixed in the eighteenth century.

The recent intervention, carried out in 1990, allows the recognition of the heritage values of this current building headquarters of the Valencian Housing Institute.
