The Casa de la Serena, also known as Casa de la Sirena, Casa de la Torre or Casa de los Ferragud, is a Renaissance and Baroque manor palace located in the Valencian orchard, in the municipality of Alfara del Patriarca, bordering the neighbouring urban area of Benifaraig, in the province of Valencia, Spain. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest) in 2004. The building is a residential palace of Renaissance and Baroque styles, constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries. Its name derives from the figure surrounding its noble coat of arms — a creature with the head of a woman and the body of a serpent, dating from 1553 according to an inscription on the shield. The building is currently abandoned and in need of restoration, and is included in the Red List of Endangered Heritage.
