El Miguelete

The Micalet Tower (El Miguelete) is a famous Gothic bell tower that was built in 1381 and later attached to Valencia Cathedral in the 15th century. El Miguelete translates to 'Little Michael,' and is the name of the city's largest bell, which weighed over 10 tons and was cast in 1532.

In 1381, master builder Andreu Julià of the Valencian Gothic style began work on the bell tower of the Valencian cathedral, El Miguelete. Valencia's Christian identity was reasserted following Muslim domination from the eighth to the mid-thirteenth centuries, thanks to the cathedral's and bell tower's imposing architecture and scale.

El Miguelete, on the other hand, required a long time to build due to its intricate design, which included helical stairs and beautiful moldings.
