Tourism Cultural in Valencia: Serranos Towers

This is a gateway from the late medieval defensive wall. It was built by master stonemason Pere Balaguer in the 14th century to defend one of the busiest points of access to old Valencia. It comprises two pentagonal structures on either side of the gateway, which is formed by a voussoir semicircular arch. The interior façade has large, arched openings, designed as galleries. In the 16th century it was converted to become a prison for nobles and gentlemen, maintaining this usage until 1887.
