The Quart Towers, located in Valencia, Spain, are an impressive example of medieval military architecture. Constructed in the 15th century as part of the city's defensive wall, these twin towers once served as a formidable gate to protect Valencia from invaders. The robust, cylindrical structures feature thick walls and crenellated battlements, which were designed to withstand artillery attacks. Over the centuries, the Quart Towers have also been used as a women's prison and later as a military prison.
