The Christian Valencian community would like to transmit its history, dating back to the first times of Christianity when the Apostles spread the Good News about Jesus Christ from the East to the known lands of the Hispanic West.

In 304, during Diocletian's persecution, the Bishop of Cesaraugusta (Zaragoza) Valero and his deacon Vincent were taken to Valentia. The last one suffered such an admirable martyrdom that became known and celebrated by the Christian community. Aurelio Prudencio's hymns, Saint Agustin's homilies and the accounts of Saint Vincent's passion made him the most popular martyr in the Latin Church. Such popularity derived in the foundation of towns, monasteries and cathedrals with his name like in Cordoba, Sevilla and Bergamo.

Construction on these large guard towers was finished in 1391. They were once the main entrance to the city in the long-since destroyed wall. They offer a perfect view of the old riverbed of the Turia river and its surroundings. From an architectural point of view, they are both pentagon-shaped, connected by a common gallery, and decorated with gothic designs on the borders. On the top there are parapets, and, around the entire structure, you can see the remains of the old moat. These towers also serve a purpose during the famous Cridà, or announcement.

This is a popular event announcing the arrival of the most important festival in Valencia- the Fallas- encouraging everyone to participate. You can enter the towers and climb to the top for the fantastic views of the city they offer. Admission: free

In its 2,000 year old history, the city of Valencia has gifted the country with numerous works of art and architecture. Today the city is enriched with different museums all over the city which have stored some of the exceptional works to tell their proud history. One such museum is the El Almudin, Valencia.

Constructed in the 16th century the El Almudin, Valencia served as a warehouse. This gave rise to the name "almudin" from Arabic. The structure was used to store grains in the city. The El Almudin in Valencia, Spain has played many important roles over the years. It has also served as a site for a Paleontologic Museum.

The Quart Towers were a part of this old Christian city wall build in the 14th century but the towers are from the 15th century. The exterior of the monument still shows signs of the bombardments suffered during France’s siege of the city in 1808. The building has been used through the centuries for different purposes, from a womans prison to a military prison.
