One of the best preserved samples of the splendour of the Counts of Oliva, Centelles and Riusech, was its castle-palace, which we still keep the Tower of Comare Street in very good condition. It was part of the four corner towers that protected the walls of the building.

Located in south-east corner, its three floors communicate with other adjacent rooms, corresponding to rectangular rooms delimited on two sides by the perimeter walls of the monument. The complex made up of the tower and the rooms, restored in 1999, allows us to appreciate the characteristics of a Gothic palace, very remodelled in the early 16th century with the addition of architectural and decorative elements of the first Renaissance.

The visit to the Archaeological Museum is recommended, where, among other materials, Palau Comtal miniature is exhibited during its best moment. It is a good complement to understand this building relevance in the framework of Valencian architecture from 15th and 16th centuries.

Some of his works are distributed around the world, which shows the political and cultural power that Centelles wanted to impregnate to the Palau dels Comtes de Barcelona.
