Torres de Serranos

Torres de Serranos

The Torres de Serranos are an impressive gateway into Valencia across the Turia river.

The towers were built in the 14th century as a part of the city's defence network.  The pentagon shaped towers are connected by a gallery and surrounded by the remains of the old moat.

The Serrano Towers have been used over the centuries as a prison and as a place to hide works of art during the Spanish Civil War.

The Crida (cry) for the Fallas is announced here and the falleros gather as the excitement builds.

From the top, the towers also offer wonderful views over the city.


The towers are located at Plaza de los Fueros and are open for viewing every day except Mondays, entry is free.
