Birthplace of Alexander VI, Medieval birth house in Xàtiva, Spain

The Birthplace of Alexander VI is a small urban house in Xàtiva, at number 5 on what is now Alexander VI Square, formerly Aldomar Square. Of the original building where Rodrigo de Borja was born, only the door façade survives, notable for its wide stone voussoirs.

According to tradition, Rodrigo de Borja, the future Pope Alexander VI, was born and lived in a house at number 5 of the old Plaza de Aldomar, now the Plaza de Alejandro VI in Xàtiva. Of that original house only the doorway survives, built with large wedge-shaped voussoirs.

The house is remembered as the birthplace of Rodrigo de Borja, the future Pope Alexander VI, at number 5 of the old Plaza de Aldomar, now Plaza de Alejandro VI. Only the doorway with its wide stone voussoirs survives, so the site is marked by the door façade rather than by rooms.

Only the door façade of the original house survives, at number 5 on the current Plaça d'Alexandre VI (the old square of Aldomar), so there are no rooms to enter. Visitors see the wide stone voussoirs of the doorway from the street; the house stands in the old centre of Xàtiva, within walking distance of the castle and the collegiate church.

Only the door façade of the original house survives, at number 5 on what is now Alexander VI Square, formerly Aldomar Square. Its wide stone voussoirs are the one element a visitor can still see from the building where Rodrigo de Borja was born.
