The street receives this name because several booksellers were established here between the 15th and 16th centuries.

Although of Gothic origin, most of the construction of this palace dates from the 18th century. Already in the twentieth century, it lost its back patio and was divided into two, one of the parts being used for housing. In the 90s of the 20th century it was rehabilitated and is currently the headquarters of the Valencia Stock Exchange. The Boïl de Arenós coat of arms still appears on its cover.
