Torres de Quart Towers

The Torres de Quarter towers were built in 1441-1460 by architects Pere Compte and Francesque Baldomar. They are made in the style of late Gothic architecture. During its existence, the towers survived several wars: the war on the Iberian Peninsula, the war for the Spanish inheritance and the civil war in Spain. In the XVII-XVIII centuries, a women's prison was located inside the towers. In 1931, the Torres de Quart towers were recognized as a national treasure, and in 1985 they were included in the list of cultural heritage of Spain.

The towers are made of brick by analogy with a mud wall. Some elements of the facade are lined with hewn stone. The gate between the two towers is made in the form of a semicircular arch decorated with a shield depicting the coat of arms of Valencia. The outer parts of the towers are made in the form of cylinders, the smooth walls of which are completed with teeth. The walls of the towers preserved traces of cannon shots of those distant years. And now in these holes on the outer facade began to build their nests parrots and other exotic birds that flew away from the owners.
