In 17th-century Valencia, a hidden treasure emerges: the Alqueria de Julià, featuring manierist and baroque architecture adorned with a labyrinth, vibrant tiles, and a once-agricultural estate's rich history. The Alqueria de Julià boasts a glorieta, a hort office, and an Ecce Homo depicted in azulejería in the entrance. The main entrance features a simple stone embocadura, with the main balcony decorated with estriada pilastras and ménsulas. The building showcases pirámides and bolas as a finish. The interior embraces a zaguán with an arco rebajado. The ground floor rooms are covered with wooden beams. The ground floor boasts a 17th-century tile zócalo. One of the upper floor rooms is adorned with an esgrafiado, showcasing vegetal and fantastic motifs, one of the few examples preserved in interiors of living spaces.
