The Towers of Highlands (or Door of Highlands) were constructed at the end of 14th century.
Their initial function was to serve as fortification, a fact that testifies to their heavy walls and their solidiness, but they were generally used for ceremonies and official entrances for important personalities that visited the city, the main reason why they are considered to be the main entrance to the city of Valencia.
Their name seems to come from the fact that they are located approximately to the northwest, therefore, they were the natural entrance that communicated with the ways to the Highlands (the Camino Real of Saragossa, that also comes together at this point with the Camino Real of Barcelona). However, another theory exists that says it could take the name from the main family who inhabited the street. It is great a reference to the city of Valencia and one of the better conserved monuments.
