Hello,
The Baroque part of the building is the exterior, so you should reorganize the explanation: first all the data referred to the old palace and later the description of the Baroque façade (mainly the main gate). There are a lot of mistakes with verbs. You have to be careful with this.
These are my corrections:
- The palace was made in the 15th century , built by the Rabassa de Perellós family, and it was reformed sometimes.
-...“González Martí”, on 2, Poeta Querol Street, 2 in Valencia.
- This building was a palace that was used for
- The materials that we can find in this building are:
(On) The principal Gate is made with alabaster. In other parts we can find (the) simple materials such as concrete, plaster, marble, etc...
(The building is compound by)Erase this in brackets and write: The Barque features are concentrated in the main gate:
* In the right part there are two crocodrile heads, some arrows and one pot that spills water, decoration of ivy rolls and a snake.
* In the left part there is a lion leaning back and another pot that spills water and some arrows. A bove the lion there was a fit of another giant and decoration of vegetable type.
*In the lintel of the gate there is the shield of the marquis and the figures of two savages with maces. There are the surnames of Perellós on the walls.
*In the upper part of the gate we can find the Virgin of Rosario. below the Virgin there are two matrons kneeling. Above we can find an angel with a trumpet. This Virgin now is made of plaster because they changed the original Virgin.

Erase the penultimate paragraph, because it doesn’t refer to the Baroque period
- The main features of this building give movement to the building, with spirals and there is decorative exuberance in the exterior and the interior.
You had a very good link and you could have summarized the information in a better way. The iconography of the façade refers to the two main rivers (Turia and Júcar), represented by two men pouring water with two jugs. They refer to the title of the Marquis of Dos Aguas.
Your mark is 7. Bye.
