Ciutat Vella is the busy old quarter of the city, where the Valencia Cathedral, from the 13th century, and the Torres de Quart, a gate in the old Gothic wall that marks the limit of the neighborhood, stand out. Places of cultural interest include museums of prehistoric objects and modern art. The Central Market has a modernist structure from the 1920s and tapas, wine and paella stalls. Typical pottery and silk fans are sold in the craft shops in the alleyways and in the lively surrounding squares.

The Torres de Serranos or Puerta de Serranos are one of the two fortified gates of the medieval wall of Valencia (Spain) that still remain standing. The set is made up of two polygonal towers joined by a central body, where the door itself opens, topped with a semicircular arch. It is an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1931.
The name of the gate seems to come from its location, to the northeast of the old town, as a natural entrance that communicated with the roads that went to the Los Serranos region (the royal road of Zaragoza, which also converged at this point with the royal road from Barcelona). Another theory supposes that it could have taken the name of the main family that inhabited the homonymous street.

The Torres de Quart or Puerta de Quart are one of the two fortified gates of the medieval wall of Valencia that are still standing. The complex is made up of two semi-cylindrical towers joined by a central body, where the door itself opens, in the shape of a semicircular arch. They are located at the intersection of Guillén de Castro street with Quart street.
The Cuart Towers owe their name to the fact that they were located on the road that led from the center of the city, from the Plaza de La Virgen where the Cathedral of Valencia is located, to the town of Cuart de Poblet. The towers were the western access for the traffic coming from Castilla. The Cuart Towers have also been called the Cuarte gate or portal and the lime gate.
