[1] Nowadays, in its interior there is a tourist office and the Museu Internacional de Titelles d'Albaida (International Museum of Puppets of Albaida).

Although there is little information about the original building, it is likely that admiral Conrad Llança ordered its construction—after having been granted the baronies of Albaida and Carrícola (1279), and Montaverner (1286).

In the document in which he transferred the barony of Albaida to his son, he makes known in writing the fortalitio dominali hospitio of the town, that is the fortress or stately home, which corresponds to the initial phase of the current palace.

The palace courtyard was paved with river stones and had a well in the middle, a porch with pillars and above it a gallery or balcony surrounding the main floor was located.

Balconies were open on the main floor, weakening the military defence provided by the wall and a gallery of Roman arches was built too.

In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, the archpriestal church of Santa Maria of Albaida was built in place of one of the palace's four wings (between 1592 and 1624).

Due to the fact that the castle was based on the original wall, the church had remained isolated from the village, hence it was necessary to go to the west side to gain access through the only door in the town.

An image of the Albaida's patron saint was placed there, called, Mare de Déu del Remei.The lineage of Milà i Aragó was the county owner, becoming later a marquessate throughout the Modern Age until the main branch of the family became extinct.

[6] The palace was temporarily occupied by this family until the marquessate owner between 1865 and 1880, José María Orense, moved from Valencia to Madrid so as to preside the Constituent Assembly of the First Spanish Republic and to do politics.

[7] Since 1912, the owner and resident of the palace, Tomàs Monzó, had been turning parts of the building into rental housing, inn, and casino.

The rest of the family took advantage of that opportunity to loot personal property and a paper industry from Alcoi recycled the whole documentary archive of the marquisate of Albaida.

[7] Between 1938 and 1939, during the Spanish Civil War, the palace housed the Center for Recruitment and Militias in Valencia, fleeing from the capital that was besieged by the army of the dictator Francisco Franco.

[7] Once the war was over, the building was temporarily used as a regional prison, and later, it was again managed by La Dominical, having school functions and being a centre for spiritual exercises.

The first palace built in the late fifteenth century had already an aristocratic residence appearance and it was placed around the western tower, next to the main entrance of the walled enclosure.

The gallery section located between the middle tower and the east one, in renaissance style, opened from the chamber and was visible from the main square.

The other one is in the finished part in the 17th century, under a sundial, and it contains the coat of arms of Christopher II (which are Milà's, Aragon-Navarre's, Castile and León's, the Montesa order's...).

[9]Inside the palace, strongly changed, the decorative conception established in the 18th century stands out, divided into winter and summer rooms.
