the Major Square and in a side street, which was called Carrer Nou. Once the work was finished, a small chapel under the arch was opened. An image of the Albaida's patron saint was placed there, called, Mare de Déu del Remei. The lineage of Milà i Aragó was the county owner, becoming later a marquessate throughout the Modern Age until the main branch of the family became extinct. The title passed to the Orense's family in 1841. The palace was temporarily occupied by this family until the marquessate owner between 1865 and 1880, José María Orense, moved from Valencia to Madrid so as to preside the Constituent Assembly of the First Spanish Republic and to do politics. In 1896, the palace was acquired by a landowner and wax producer from Albaida, known as the Marquis of Corbellot. When the next century came, the new owner opened a new door to access the palace from the Major Square, which was located between the middle tower and the east one. Since 1912, the owner and resident of the palace, Tomàs Monzó, had been turning parts of the building into rental housing, inn, and casino. Since 1918, the heiress of this Marquis, Marieta Monzó, hosted in the palace a catholic and burgeois association, called La Dominical. It was dedicated to the education of the workers’ daughters. After entering the Esclaves de Benirredrà convent, the owner ceded the palace to this association. The rest of the family took advantage of that opportunity to loot personal property and a paper industry from Alcoi recycled the whole documentary archive of the marquisate of Albaida. Between 1938 and 1939, during the Spanish Civil War, the palace housed the Center for Recruitment and Militias in Valencia, fleeing from the capital that was besieged by the army of the dictator Francisco Franco. Once the war was over, the building was temporarily used as a regional prison, and later, it was again managed by La Dominical, having school functions and being a centre for spiritual exercises. In 1986, during the night of 26 December, the palace was hit by a fire affecting the west wing, the oldest one. In November 1987 the lack of funds for emergency works, which consisted in the consolidation of the roof, caused the collapse of this side of the palace. The main reason was the rain, and just the exterior walls remained. Since 1994,
