Miguelete Tower

A viewpoint with a lot of history, a symbol of the city of Valencia: the authentic Miguelete or in Valencian called ‘Micalet’ is one of the places of interest that you cannot miss.

The Miguelete: a bell tower with a lot of history

Climbing the Miguelete, the emblematic bell tower of Valencia Cathedral, is an essential ritual for anyone visiting the city. At 50.85 metres high and with 207 steps winding up a narrow spiral staircase, the reward for the effort is one of the most impressive views of Valencia.

From the top, you can enjoy a unique panorama of the old town, with its colourful rooftops and narrow streets steeped in history. On clear days, you can see the beach and even the majestic City of Arts and Sciences on the horizon.

This bell tower, built in Gothic style between the 14th and 15th centuries, is not only an exceptional viewpoint, but also an architectural jewel. Inside it houses a bell known as ‘Miguel’, which gives its name to the tower and is one of the largest in Spain.

If you visit Valencia Cathedral, the climb up the Miguelete is an experience not to be missed. Prepare yourself for a small physical challenge that will reward you with unforgettable views and a direct connection with the history and culture of Valencia.
