Torres de Serranos

The Torres de Serranos is a Gothic-style gate tower located in Valencia, Spain. It was built in the late 14th century as part of the city’s fortifications, and it is considered one of the most important examples of Gothic architecture in Valencia.

The tower stands at 51 meters (167 feet) high and features two towers with a central archway and a drawbridge. It was built using limestone and bricks, and its design was inspired by the Sienese towers in Italy.

Today, the tower is open to the public and serves as a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower to enjoy panoramic views of the city and learn about the tower’s history through exhibits and guided tours. It is also a popular spot for photography, particularly during the evening when the tower is illuminated.
