Real Palace
The now vanished Real Palace (in Valencian, ''Palau del Real'') was the former residence of the kings of Valencia in the «Cap i Casal» (head and home) of the Kingdom, as the city of Valencia was then called. It was on the left bank of the Turia River, where nowadays ''Jardines del Real'' are. It was also known as «300 keys palace» in reference to the number of rooms it had in its heights.
From XI to XIX centuries it was royal seat whether for the kings of the Taifa of Valencia or the monarchs of the Crown of Aragon, the Habsburgs and the Bourbons, while it was less appreciated by the latter.
== Origins ==
It was originally constructed in the 11th century by the king Abd al-Aziz as an ''almúnia'' or recreation residence on the outskirts of the city. In Xarq al-Andalus these rural residences of the urban oligarchy, located around the cities, were known as ''real'' (from Arabic ''riyad'', garden), which must not be confused with the ''rafals'', which were estates for agrarian production. Thereupon, the Real Palace name arises from the fact that it was one of these ''almúnies'', not because it was a royal residence (of course, nor because it was ''authentic''). The Arabist Henri Péres, in his book ''Esplendor de Al-Andalus'', talks about the beauty and grandeur of the palace, which "included a big garden planted with fruit trees and flowers and a river that crossed it, and the palace is located in the middle, with richly decorated pavilions, which gaped open to the garden".〔(''La “edad de oro” de Balansiya''. Las Provincias )〕
In 1364, in the course of the war with Castile, the troops of Peter the Cruel burned it down and looted it.
