Along with the Serranos Towers, these towers,
built in the 15th century in Gothic style, are the only ones that remain standing from Valencia's Christian wall. In addition to providing access to the city, they served a defensive purpose, fulfilling this role not only in the Middle Ages. The scars left on the towers by
cannonballs during the war against Napoleon's troops can still be seen today.

They were previously known as Portal de la Cal (Limestone Gates) because all the limestone entering València had to pass through them.
