Llíria

Lliria lies inland from Valencia, where irrigated land, dry fields, and routes toward the surrounding hills support a productive agricultural district. Grain, vines, olives, fruit, and livestock could all contribute to exchange according to local conditions. The town's history reaches back to ancient Edeta, but its medieval and early modern life developed within the changing institutions of the kingdom of Valencia.

After the Christian conquest, James I confirmed Llíria as a royal town in a charter of 1253. Its town hall was under construction by 1599, with rooms for the grain store, jurors and court. After the Battle of Almansa in 1707, Philip V granted Llíria as the seat of a duchy to the Duke of Berwick. These institutions and changes of lordship formed part of the town's life within the kingdom of Valencia.
