 City Wall and old tower all in one. This tower is one of the original 12 from 1392. The towers formed the lookout points around the city of Valencia. Today this area that was the lookout is all compressed into easy walking.  The tower was closed so I couldn't go up the stairs for the view.  Entrance into the old city.

The old part of Valencia is a UNESCO world heritage area. Everywhere the eye turns a tower, cathedral, or structure exists that's photo worthy. This cathedral is in the main plaza area.  It's free to sneak a peak and inside the artwork was ornate.  I liked the vaulted ceiling. The photo doesn't do the arch justice but it was cool.  You didn't think I'd skip trying a local beer!  Cruzcampo - the beer of Spanish tourist areas!
