sourceCITAZIONEThis was the birthplace of San Francisco de Borja. The oldest part of the building dates from the 15th century, but was restored and turned into a sanctuary by the Jesuits. 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.
The Borja family returns to the Ducal Palace of Gandia
Hence, visitors will be able to meet Alexander VI, Francisco de Borja and María Enríquez, offering a different way of learning about the history of the Palace and the Borja family. The actors playing the characters have done in-depth research into the historic figures they are portraying. So, as well as talking about the Palace, they will also show visitors the very different personalities of each of the characters. To book a dramatised tour, call 96 287 14 65.
