Torres de Serranos

We went on a Mediterranean Cruise in March of 2025 and one of the stops on our cruise was Valencia, Spain.  We rode the shuttle from the ship to the old city center.  We were dropped off at Calle Guadalaviar no. 5.  We crossed a bridge and began our tour at the Towers of Serranos.  The towers were completed in 1398 and are part of the original medieval walls of the city.  It costs 2 euro to visit and they open at 10 am.  They originally were part of the defense system of the city, but have been used for a variety of purposes since then, including a museum.  My fear of heights got the better of me on these towers, although I was able to make it to the top.  On the second-to-top level of the towers there is a thin walk-way that you can cross from one tower to the other rather than going down the stairs and back up.  My daughter went across the walkway twice, and that was enough for her.  I opted to go down the stairs and back up the other side.  Climbing the stairs is more difficult than in other towers I have climbed, because there is not a handrail all the way up, or the handrail is very short and hard to hold onto while climbing the stairs.  The view from the towers is magnificent, however.  You can find more information about the towers at this website:  Towers of Serranos

They're located at Plaza de los Flores, s/n; 46003, Valencia.

This walkway goes under and through the towers

This middle level of the towers has some nice views of the city, and is a nice stop on the climb to the top of the towers.

These low hand rails were not much help for my fear of heights as I climbed to the top of the towers.

You can avoid going down and back up the opposite side stairs by walking across this narrow walkway.  I opted to use the stairs, my fear of heights would not have allowed me to use the walkway
