Every Thursday at midday, the Door of the Apostles is the site of the oldest tribunal in all of Europe, the Tribunal de las Aguas (Water Court), which resolves the conflicts arising over the use of water in the nearby fields.

Designed by Pere Balaguer, the gateway was built upon a remarkable Gothic design, with ornamentations and embellishments that have withstood the test of time. From 1586 to 1887, the Torres de Serranos was re-purposed as a prison for nobility, and has been variously used ever since.

Palace of the Marqués de Dos Aguas

The Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas is a brilliant example of Rococo architecture with a wonderful Churrigueresque facade. The imposing alabaster main entrance was designed by Hipólito Rovira and sculpted by Ignacio Vergara, crowned by a statue of the Virgin, with rivers streaming down either side of the doorway. Inside, ornate windows and elegant balconies overlook the courtyard, each room replete with sculpted embellishments and painted niches that attest to the opulent tastes of the Marqués de Dos Aguas. Previously renown for its fabulous Gothic grandeur, the palace was remade in the rococo style in 1750 by the Rabassa de Perelló family. There are intricacies galore and details aplenty, while the sheer abundance of finery makes for a dazzling display.

Plaza del Ayuntamiento

The Plaza del Ayuntamiento is a point of reference to start any trip around the city of Valencia. It is especially interesting as the starting-off point for a tour through the old quarter or a busy shopping spree along some of the most important nearby shopping districts in the city. The palatial Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) building dominates the square, and its bells chime out the time to passers-by. Surrounding the plaza are other buildings from Valencia's golden age, such as the Correos building (the main post office). In the center of the plaza, a fountain spurts water, surrounded by flower stalls with all the colors, sizes, varieties (and prices) imaginable. On sunny days the plaza is filled with people out for a stroll, and during the "Fallas" festival, a swarm of people meets up here every day at two o'clock for the "Mascleta", when kilo upon kilo of firecrackers are set off.
