The Re-Founding of the Duchy of Gandia, the Power of the Borgia Family
At the end of the 15th century, the Borgia family, already settled in Xativa, bought the Duchy of Gandia. From their establishment in this city, the most splendid period of its historical centre began with the construction or reconstruction of numerous monuments, palaces, and convents that will be visited on the first day.
