Nice story behind an historical bulding

It is close to the train station and on the way in or out is worth a detour, it is also in walking distance from the roman ruins and can be included on a historical tour of the city. The building is impressive and the...More

Impressive tower but not that nice around

Best bit about the tower was finding a good bike shop on the way and to ogle the orbea bikes inside. The tower is just a tower but we were walking around the city anyway so used this as a northern landmark

2 minutes to visit it, doesn't worth.

Legends apart from that are told about this tower does not seem like the most beautiful attraction in the city. It is a simple and ancient tower which rises in the middle of traffic, as I said, personally I wasn't looking for it I just...More

considering that there are so many other significant historical places, this is a minor one. Seen one, seen all.
