Torres de Serranos, Valencia

Plaça dels Furs, València, Comunidad Valenciana

Description

The Serrans Gate (Torres de Serranos) is one of the twelve gates that formed part of the ancient city wall of Valencia. It was built in Valencian Gothic style at the end of the 14th century and the towers were used as a prison for nobles from the late 16th to late 19th centuries. Visitors can climb to the top of the towers via stairs.

Access & Transport

The gate is at the north-eastern edge of the old city, alongside the Jardin del Turia green belt. Several bus services stop there on C. de la Blanqueria / C. de la Trinitat and the Pont de Fusta tram station (4) is a 5 mins walk across the gardens.

Instructions & Recommendations

On rainy days, the Towers will remain closed for safety reasons We suggest combining this activity with the Jardin del Turia and the nearby Museum of Fine Arts.

Meta review

According to online reviews, the gate is impressive, especially at night, and offers very good views from the top (not too many steps) although it in unclear if the 2 EUR fees are justified.

Environmental & Social

No environmental impact and helps preserve the architectural heritage of the city

Conclusion

The Serrans Gate is one of the city's landmarks and quite photogenic; an excellent opportunity to learn about the defensive walls and some parts of the city's history but little to see inside.

Key positive

Photogenic

Good city views

Key negative

Lacks cultural content / explanations

Suitability

Not accessible for visitors with reduced mobility but they can still see the structure, just no climb to the top
