The Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas is a Rococo nobility palace occupying a central location in Valencia, Spain. Built beginning in 1500, it evolved as the seat of the Marqueses of Dos Aguas, a family whose wealth originated in merchant commerce and the administration of fiscal contracts for the Generalitat Valenciana. Architects Hipólito Rovira and Ignacio Vergara shaped the building into an exemplar of aristocratic opulence, and it became one of Valencia's most celebrated symbols of noble grandeur for centuries. The barony was elevated to a marquisate by King Charles II in 1699. The palace is now owned by the Spanish State and houses the González Martí National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts. The site itself holds deeper historical layers: excavations in one courtyard in 1743 uncovered evidence suggesting it may have occupied the location of a Roman necropolis from the 1st to 3rd centuries.
