Discovering the History and Renovations of Valencia's Palau del Marqués de

The Palau del Marqués de Campo, a 17th-century building with 19th-century renovations, is located on the Archbishop's Square in Valencia. Originally, it was the home of the counts of Olocau, later purchased by José Campo Pérez, the first Marqués de Campo, in 1872. The building underwent renovations in 1857 by Manuel Ferrando and subsequently passed to the Berbedel family, who embellished, restored, and renovated the interior rooms. Today, the Palau del Marqués de Campo houses the museum of the city.

The main entrance is through the central body of the palace, flanked by two towers. A balcony runs along three sides of the courtyard, and an escalator provides access to the upper floors. The palace was meticulously restored in 1989 under the guidance of architect Manuel Portaceli Roig, with another intervention in the 1990s incorporating neighboring buildings to enhance the exhibition and museum programming of the main building.
