Alqueria de Julià, Historical farmhouse in L'Olivereta district, Valencia, Spain
Alqueria de Julià is a two-story farmhouse with a tower located in L'Olivereta, Valencia. The building displays Baroque and Mannerist elements on its stone facade and has been restored to serve modern uses while preserving its historic character.
The farmhouse was built in 1713 and originally functioned as an agricultural complex in the Valencia region. During a period of political transition, Spanish Queen Isabel II used the property as a temporary residence.
The building now serves as Casa de la Música and houses the headquarters of the Federation of Musical Societies of the Valencia Community. Local music groups use the spaces to rehearse and perform, keeping the region's musical traditions alive.
Access to the restored farmhouse is available through free guided tours that can be arranged by registering with the Federation of Musical Societies. Visitors should book in advance to secure a spot on the scheduled tours.
Underground chambers hidden beneath the garden include a large rehearsal space that was discovered during restoration work. These hidden spaces became crucial to transforming the property into a music center.
