	Del Real Royal Palace	Valencia, Valencian Community	Moorish, Valencian Gothic	11th century	1810, during the Napoleonic French invasion	Remains survives	It was the former residence of the kings of Valencia in the «Head and Home» of the Kingdom, as the city of Valencia was then called. It was also known as «300 keys palace» in reference to the number of rooms it had in its heights. From 11th to 19th centuries it was royal seat whether for the kings of the Taifa of Valencia or the monarchs of the Crown of Aragon, the Habsburgs and the Bourbons, while it was less appreciated by the latter. It was originally constructed by the king Abd al-Aziz as a recreation residence on the outskirts of the city. The Arabist Henri Péres talks about the beauty and grandeur of the palace, which "included a big garden planted with fruit trees and flowers and a river that crossed it, and the palace is located in the middle, with richly decorated pavilions, which gaped open to the garden". Afterwards, Peter el Cerimoniós practically rebuilt it as the residence of the Aragonese monarchs almost entirely, incorporating some very partial remains of the old architecture, and broadened the gardens in the 14th century, keeping in mind to build a true bigger palace. John I also enlarged it so as Alfonso the Magnanimous, who, during the few years he resided in Valencia before conquering Naples, consolidated it as a royal residence and made considerable expenses to turned it into one of the best regal palaces in the Crown of Aragon. Inventories of that time indicate that it was a sumptuously decorated palace, with abundant tapestries, paintings and rich furniture.

In fact, the demolition was due to a combination of factors: a poor military strategy, the economic needs of the Junta de Defensa and the perception by the bourgeois, liberal classes that this old grand palace was the main symbol of the past. Only some fragment of the coffered ceiling, preserved at the Archive of the Kingdom in Valencia, was saved from its formidable brickwork.
