The Benicarló palace, on the left, is the current seat of the Valencian Courts. The works on this palace were started in the 15th century by Francesc Martínez Biulaigua, who soon died. He was succeeded by several teachers, among them Pere Compte, who made the staircase to the courtyard.
The palace was the residence of the Borja family in Valencia, but in 1870 it became the property of the Count of Benicarló. During the Civil War it was the seat of the Republican Government and after the Civil War it was the official residence of Franco during his visits to Valencia. From 1973 it was the headquarters of the National Movement and in 1982 the headquarters of the first Valencian autonomous government.
This street is named after the masters of the Military Order of Montesa. The rear part of the Temple Palace faces it, which did not change its name but actually belonged to the Order of Montesa since the beginning of the 14th century, when the Order of the Temple was dissolved.
This street is dedicated to the promoter of the old Teaching House, a school for poor girls, where the town hall moved in 1854 and which can be seen on the right of the image. The new town hall also included the old churches of the Cofradía of Blood and Santa Rosa.

This square was formerly called Portal de Quart.
The church is the only original preserved of the old convent of Santa Úrsula, founded in 1605. The convent was completely rebuilt in 1960.
Before the convent of Santa Úrsula, this square housed a "house of the repentant"; Old or sick prostitutes took refuge there. The place was near the "medieval mancebía".
Section II has an area of 99,890 m2 and includes from the Rovella weir to the Campanar bridge.
This street is so named because many nobles settled here in the past, hence several palaces are preserved in it. The reason for settling on this street was that at the beginning of it, approximately where the Plaza de San Jaime is located, there was a group of buildings owned by the king.
Inside the station, its hall stands out, with a ceiling of wooden beams and vaults covered with trencadís (chunks tiles). The lockers are made of wood and glass inlaid with trencadís. The walls are also covered with wood and ceramic. In Demetrio Ribes it was a constant to break down the barriers between artist and craftsman.
