The Del Carme center is in the ancient Royal monastery of the Mother of God Karmelskoy in the Spanish Valencia founded in 1281 after Christian gain, outside the Arab walls, as named the Region of Karmen in which there is a monastery.
From the moment of the basis at the end of the 13th century he endured a set of expansions and reorganizations that is reflected in its difficult architecture. The inheritance which remained from the initial Gothic building built within all the 14th century are the Gothic gallery (tsisteriansky heritage), the premises for meetings of a kapitul, the refectory and former bedroom of monks.
The gallery of Renaissance with capitals of the Tuscan order and upper gallery, also in style of Renaissance became a fruit of important expansion which was made in the 16th century.
In the 19th century owing to laicisation the monastery was separated from adjacent church and also arts became Museum of Fine Arts and the central department of Royal academy of the fine arts and schools of the fine arts, crafts. This new feature saved it from demolition as happened to other monastic complexes in Valencia. Through its hall there passed the best Valencian artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Francisco Domingo, Ignacio Pinaso, Joaquin Sorolya, Manuel Benedito, Benlyyure's works and many others.
The last expansion - the Ferreres hall executed in style classicism and reminding galleries of Museo del Prado is connected with this museum past.
In 1983 the building was announced by a historical and art monument of national value and after the reconstruction begun in 1989 and partially completed in 2011, Valencia's government turned it into the headquarters of Museum association of the Valencian community.
For 2020 it is contemporary art center that the practician and expression methods, the become receptacle of live culture and again available to general public does it by a haven for a broad spectrum art.
