Villa Amparo, Rocafort, Mediterranean mansion in Rocafort, Spain.

Villa Amparo displays traditional Valencian architecture with ornate details and stone facades, situated on a spacious property with gardens.

The mansion became notable between 1936 and 1938 when Spanish poet Antonio Machado lived there after being relocated from Madrid during the Civil War.

During his residence at Villa Amparo, Antonio Machado wrote several important works, including the elegy 'El crimen fue en Granada' for Federico García Lorca.

The property, located at Avenida Dr. Eugenio López Trigo 7, was acquired by the Valencian Government in 2019 and remains closed to public access.

A metal silhouette stands in front of Villa Amparo's entrance, based on a 1937 drawing by Ramón Gaya depicting Antonio Machado.
