About this tour
This session looks at Valencia Cathedral from its square, tracing how the building grew across several centuries. You see three doorways in three different styles and the octagonal Miguelete tower rising above them. It is a compact history lesson told through one building's changing facades.
I move around the square to catch each doorway in turn, then step back for the tower itself. I take your questions on the building's history throughout, and send a short summary once we finish.
This suits anyone interested in how a single building can record centuries of change. It also works well as a first stop before exploring the old town further.
