Torres de Quart or Puerta de Quart two fortified gates of the medieval wall of Valencia, Spain

Spain's most magnificent city gate is quite a sight from its outer side. You can clamber to the top of the 15th-century structure, which faces towards Madrid and the setting sun. Up high, notice the pockmarks caused by French cannonballs during the Napoleonic invasion.
