Description
The Duchy of Gandía took shape in the fourteenth century on the Valencian coast, first under royal princes and later under Alfonso of Aragon, whom King Martin I created Duke of Gandía in 1399. In 1485 the Catholic Monarchs transferred the duchy to the Borja family, whose household strengthened the town’s cultural and economic importance. Francisco de Borja, fourth Duke of Gandía, founded the town’s university in 1547 before becoming a leading figure of the Jesuit order. The ducal palace, archives and cityscape still recall Gandía’s place in Spanish courtly and intellectual history.
