Come and discover the story of Jaume I at the exhibition in the Palau dels Scala.
The Provincial Council of Valencia pays tribute to the conqueror with a very special exhibition: “Jaume I, the Birth of a People”, celebrating the 750th anniversary of his death.
This exhibition invites you to discover the monarch not only as a conqueror, but also as the great architect of Valencian identity.
Jaume I is the man who laid the foundations of who we are today!
What to Expect from the Exhibition
It brings together priceless historical pieces that tell his story.
Among them are:
The sword of Jaume I
The Arab key to the city of Valencia
The portrait of the monarch from the Palau de la Generalitat
The painting by Ignacio Pinazo, “The Delivery of King Jaume I’s Sword to His Son”
The reproduction of the monarch’s arm created by Agapito Vallmitjana
And there’s much more to see.
Each of these authentic treasures will let you rediscover the figure of Jaume I while learning about his political, cultural, and social legacy.
