Traveler reviews

  • Temi Owoeye

    ★★★★★3 months ago

    I’d seen photos beforehand, but standing right beneath the towers made me appreciate the scale and history in a completely different way. The stonework and Gothic detail give it real character. I decided to climb to the top, and I’m glad I did. The views over the old town and the Turia gardens were worth every step. I liked that it didn’t feel overly commercialised, just authentic, historic, and quietly impressive. For me, it was a simple stop that delivered more than I expected. Short visit, lasting impression.

  • Ana Antić Folić

    An extraordinary looking monument, the entrance to the old town that leads you to the Cathedral, the market, the beautiful squares and the architecture you want to see. In addition to the fact that it is close to the auzobus stop and will protect you when it rains, you can climb the stairs to the top (it offers a nice view of that part of the city), and there are cafes, food, ice cream, souvenirs nearby.
