The Generalitat Valenciana is a group of institutions in which the self-government of the Land of Valencia is politically organised. It consists of the Corts Valencianes, the President of the Generalitat, and the Executive Council or Government.

History

The Corts Valencianes created the Generalitat Valenciana in 1418, with posts for three years, and an executive and administrative function comparable to current Government. In 1510 there was a reorganization on how posts were designated, in a more automatic and less elective way. This organism continued with this structure until 1709, as a consequence of the War of the Spanish Succession and the subsequent Nueva Planta decrees.

The Generalitat Valenciana was not re-established until 1982, after the corresponding Valencian Statute of Autonomy was approved.
