Palace of the Boïl d’Arenós

The Palacio de los Boïl de Arenós is located on Calle Llibrers, in the historic centre of Valencia, very close to the Palace of the Marquis of Dosaigües. It is also known as the House of the Lord of Bétera.

The origins of the building date back to the fourteenth century, although the appearance it preserves corresponds to the works of the eighteenth century. This palace is located in an environment where the Valencian nobility then resided.

Following the model of most Valencian palaces, its distribution is carried out around a central courtyard, in this case rectangular, which still retains its segmental arches of Gothic influence. Although it was originally discovered, today this courtyard is covered with a glass skylight.

The structure of the building obeys the scheme of semi-basement, ground floor, mezzanine, first or main floor and second floor.

On the façade facing Calle Llibrers, the cantería stone plinth stands out and the heraldic shield that crowns the large access door that leads into the courtyard. In this shield, in Baroque style, you can see the arms of different Valencian lineages united by marriages, such as the Boïl, the Vives or the Lladró. This façade offers three floors of wrought iron balconies that occupy almost the entire smooth wall.

The current palace is the result of different reforms, carried out mainly in the eighteenth century and also in the nineteenth century. Restored in 1997, today it is the headquarters of the Valencia Stock Exchange.

Building listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest.
