One of the places that we visited while in Valencia was the Our Lady Square and it's Cathedral.I so love the fountain in the square with it's dominant big statue of a man.

The Quart Towers,Valencia Spain

The Quart Towers or the Torres de Quart is one of the places that we have visited when we were in Valencia.I noticed that the two towers were cylinder shape at the front but were flat at the back.It's interesting to see the many holes on the wall.I asked my husband about it and he said maybe those were cause by the bullets during the war.

It is one of the monuments of Valencia that a tourist should see.

Town Hall in Valencia, Spain

When we were in Valencia,we wanted to visit and roam around the town hall square or the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.Unfortunately,when we were there,there was a strike or a protest going on.So what I did is just take some photos of the Town hall.
