Zeit Abu Zeit (or Zaid) was Moorish king of Valencia, deposed by Zayyan in 1229. Later he converted to Christianity taking the name of Vicent Bellvís. His remains are buried in the current convent of La Puridad.

This street, next to Jaime I and Conquista, arose as a result of the demolition of the Puridad convent in 1836. It was the first urban intervention in the city to build houses for the middle bourgeoisie, with its own toilets and well; and no workshops on the ground floor. The project took place in the middle of the 19th century.

In this street is the French Institute, dedicated to promoting the French language and culture.
