    Torres dels Serrans

    The Serranos Towers are one of the best-preserved medieval gates in Spain and a remarkable example of Gothic military architecture. Built in the 14th century, they once formed part of the ancient city wall that protected Valencia. This northern gate welcomed travelers arriving from Zaragoza and the former Kingdom of Aragon. Climbing to the top offers stunning panoramic views of Valencia’s historic center and the Turia Gardens, a beautiful green space that now occupies the old riverbed of the Turia River. Over the centuries, the towers served various purposes. In the 16th to 19th centuries, they were used as a prison for nobles, and during the Spanish Civil War, they sheltered valuable artworks from the Prado Museum in Madrid to protect them from bombings. The Serranos Towers are now a symbol of Valencia's rich heritage, offering a unique perspective on the city’s history, architecture, and landscape from above.
