Sumario:Our object of study is one of the former buildings of the ancient Plaza del Miguelete of Valencia: the Casa Ferraz. This discrete urban palace was a little over a century old when it was demolished due to city planning requirements for the enlargement of the current Plaza de la Reina. From the Casa Ferraz, a small number of paintings have been conserved which formed part of its wall decoration, which we include in our study. An exhaustive search in archives and libraries was combined with the oral testimonies of those persons which had some type of involvement with the expropriation of the dwelling, conservation of the paintings, etc. to reach interesting conclusions with respect to the date of construction of the Casa Ferraz and, consequently, the dating of the paintings.
