Claim: Construction of the Torres de Serranos began on 7 April 1392 on the site of an older gateway after being commissioned by the Barcelonian government.
Evidence: Commissioned by the Valencian government, the Serrans Towers were built by the architect Pere Balaguer, who was inspired by other Gothic gates with polygonal towers, such as the Porta de Sant Miquel in Morella and the Royal Gate (Porta Reial) of the Poblet Monastery, showing Genoese influences.
