Palacio de los Milà y Aragó
Palace of the marquises built between 1471 and 1477 over 13th-century walls, with three square towers and Baroque frescoes. It houses the International Puppet Museum.
In the old town of Albaida, the Palace of the Milà y Aragó stands on the medieval wall line. It was built between 1471 and 1477 as the residence of the marquises, keeping three square towers and long galleries decorated with Baroque frescoes by Bertomeu Albert.
History
The palace reuses stretches of the 13th-century walls raised after the Christian conquest. A 1:100 model inside shows what the town looked like in the 15th century, with the walled enclosure complete.
What to see
The frescoed rooms come first, then the International Puppet Museum (MITA), which occupies part of the building. Combine the visit with the nearby Asunción church, a short walk away.
Tips for your visit
- Confirm the visit programme with the museum before going.
- The old town around the palace is compact and walked on foot.
