"As a twin to Torres de Serranos where El Carme meets El Pilar, these two hulking towers served as an entrance gate through the fortified Medieval city wall that once surrounded the old city. The original wall, which was dismantled in 1865 to allow for city expansion, consisted of twelve such gates, one of two still standing (the other is Torres de Serranos).
The original Christian wall was dismantled in 1865 to allow for city expansion and consisted of twelve such gates, one of two still standing (the other is Torres de Quart). A third gate, reduced to a footprint, is Portal dels Jueus or Puerta de los Judeos which can be seen at Plaça dels Pinazos in Sant Francesc (above the Colón metro station).
Evident pockmarks remain on its outer western-facing side, impacts of war deliberately left during renovations. 132 cannonball holes and over 1000 rifle shot perforations from Napoleonic French bombardment during the Spanish War of Independence in 1808 show the towers' resistance from siege."
