It is attached to the wall that surrounds the city and has two gates, a Gothic one and one from the Renaissance. Its remarkable interior has some great spaces, like the Golden Gallery, made in Baroque style, and the Crown Hall.
sourceCITAZIONEThe Borja family returns to the Ducal Palace of Gandia
The Ducal Palace of Gandia has incorporated into its programme of events a series of dramatised tours for adults. Through this initiative, visitors can become guests of the Duke and, guided by several figures from the Borja family, such as Pope Alexander VI and Francisco de Borja, learn about the history of the building and the lives of these historic figures.
These historic figures will come back to life and accompany visitors through the different rooms in the palace, telling them about the history of the building and also divulging personal aspects about their own lives.
