Editorial summary

“El Real de Gandia” enters the record as human settlement in Safor, Valencia Province, Valencian Community, Spain. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Real, Gandia and human can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current 55-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Real, Gandia and human.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“El Real de Gandia” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Real, Gandia and human provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1945950. VIAF identifies the subject as 316734351. Authority coordinates are 38.948, -0.192. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
