It is one of the twelve gates that guarded the old Christian wall of the city. It is of Valencian Gothic style, from the end of the XIV century (years 1392 to 1398). Its name seems to come from its location, northwest of the old town, as a natural entrance that communicated with the roads that went to the region of Los Serranos (the royal road of Zaragoza, which also merged with the royal road in Barcelona). Another theory supposes that it could take the name of the main family that lived the homonymous street. It is a great defect of the city of Valencia and one of its best preserved monuments. Of the old wall, which began to demolish in 1865 by order of the governor of the province Cirilo Amorós, only these towers remain and those of Cuart (of century XIV), in addition to some other vestiges and archaeological remains like the Door of the Jews , now Plaza de los Pinazo.
