Presentation

The Rector Peset Hall of Residence of the UV inaugurated in 1997, is a hall of residence for students and professors which fosters the human, cultural and scientific training of its collegiates. It is located in a lordly house in the city centre, a palace which belonged to the family Martínez Vallejo (18th Century) which hosted the “Escuela Normal de Magisterio” (Teacher’s Training College) until 1961, later on it was restored and adapted to its new university role. Some elements of interests have been preserved such as a canvas of the Arabic wall which dates back to 11th Century, the Miramar Tower (18th Century), and “la vuelta con linterna” (19th Century) which crowns the main stairs. We can also regard the wall painting “La visita imposible de Juan Peset” (The Impossible Visit of Juan Peset) oeuvre by Damián Flores made in 2007 on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Hall of Residences.
