The Miguelete Tower is the bell tower of the Valencia Cathedral in Valencia, Spain. It is known as El Miguelete in Castilian Spanish or Torre del Micalet in the Valencian language. Construction of the tower began in 1381 and was completed in 1429. Due to its complexity and long years of construction, it was successively directed by several master builders; the first being Andreu Juliá [es], from 1381.^[1] Others were José Franch (1396), Pedro Balaguer [es] (1414, builder of the Torres de Serranos); to Martí Llobet [es] (1425), the last of the architects to work on the construction. Subsequently, the belfry was added (1660-1736).
