The Casa Palacio is a Renaissance building, which uses brick as a priority, the facade features elegant balconies with Valencian ceramics that embellish it. At present, the Plaza Palacio continues to be very important for the town. It has a square shape with the house of the “Alonso” occupying one of its sides.

Every June, coinciding with the start of summer and the festivity of Corpus Christi, the locals decorate the street and square, and the “palace dances” are danced to the rhythm of the dulzaina and tamboril. This festival has probably been celebrated since the seventeenth century, coinciding with the wheat harvest, when the vassals brought part of their harvest to the lord of the land. This “Festa de la dansà”, begins to be celebrated the week before, the dancers going every day to a different street of the town, until concluding in the square Palace where they dance jotas, fandangos and traditional folias.

It is currently the headquarters of the Microviña and is privately owned, so it will be opened on demand or on certain occasions.
