BENISSUERA The Vall hidden treasure They say of him that it is a small town, very hidden, to which we have to go on purpose. But it’s so much more. Benissuera is a small gem of Vall d’Albaida region that counts in its historic center with a Cultural Interest rich in heritage and history. If you visit Benissuera you can enjoy one of its most important attractions, the Palace of the Bellvís. But it’s not the only one, because you can’t miss their festivities in honor of San Antonio Abad or their route through the Villages of the River. Without a doubt, three good reasons to visit Benissuera, if you haven’t already.

The reconquest of the Palace of the Bellvís The social mobilization and firm defense of the heritage by the City Council were key to the leftover Palace of the Bellvís and in absolute abandonment, to become a property of municipal ownership and with hopeful future prospects. The Palace of the Bellvís is one of the jewels that give Benissuera a special charm. This construction, which can be dated from the early sixteenth century, was abandoned and ruined in private hands for a long time, but in recent years, thanks to becoming publicly owned, it has been improved and was declared of Cultural

Interest in 2003. The Palace of the Bellvís, of great architectural and sentimental wealth, presides over the daily life of the inhabitants of this small town since it is located in the epicenter of the municipality, in the Plaza Mayor. This Palace was linked to the lordship of the Bellvís until the nineteenth century, when it passed into the hands of the Colomer family, Viscounts of San Germán. It then passed into private hands until the village of Benissuera recently reconquered the Palace of the Bellvís.
